Still Not Home.

We are anxiously awaiting discharge.
Sophia has not been eating very well today.
This hasn't kept us from feeding her formula through her g-tube.
We think she may be cutting new teeth on top of all she has been through.
There is some concern with her loss of appetite, grumpiness, and lethargy. There is a slight possibility this could indicate some fluid around her heart. We are getting a cardiac ultrasound tomorrow as a precaution. Assuming it doesn't turn up anything alarming we should be discharged tomorrow.
The atelectesis in the left lung is still evident in the chest x-rays, but her cardiologist is not too concerned and suggest it should correct itself with time. We will likely have a follow-up with cardiac surgery a week or so after discharge. We can get another xray at that time to check on it.
Sophia has no IVs, no monitors, and is pretty much out of patience.
Hopefully, we are home by early afternoon tomorrow.
Comments:
poor thing, cutting teeth on top of all this! I'll be hoping for clear ultrasound results, and early discharge!
 
I'll keep my fingers crossed (pray) that Sophia's appetite will increase and that the ultrasound results will be favourable. That girl gotta get home!:)
 
Praying that everything went well overnight and that Sophia's appetite has returned so that you guys can go home.
