Brent and I spent the night at the hospital in the Ronald McDonald Family room. I came down and checked on her through the night and every time she was stable and sleeping. We have a few goals today. You can see in the pictures that she is really swollen, it is worse this morning but hard to tell and yes I have more pictures :) They are giving her Lasik(sp?) to get rid of the fluid because that same swelling is inside her body too. She gets to start mommy's milk today which is really a surprise to me but they said they've learned that if they don't feed them their gut starts to die because their body sends the blood elsewhere. She was given 34 breaths a minute and is now down to 25 on her ventilator. She really is too drugged to breathe on her own just yet. I came in this morning at 7:30 and when I started talking she opened her eyes, she just figured out eye contact yesterday before her surgery. So she starts blinking and then it seemed odd, not like the sleepy it's too bright eye opening but a rhythmic blinking. I was a little distraught so I put my hand on her head and she stopped. They are doing an ultrasound and EEG this morning to rule out brain bleeds or seizures. When the nurse came in she said the same thing had happened to her earlier. Hoping it's nothing.
