Recovering
Shelby's head is already getting smaller, which the doctor said is good. I am so thankful the surgery went well, but my heart is just aching right now. She's in a tremendous amount of pain and I can't stand to watch it (which is why I'm in the waiting room on the computer). The doctors and nurses are trying to help her by alternating morphine and tylenol. They've got the lights turned down low and everyone is whispering and touching her the least amount possible to keep her from getting too agitated. I really haven't heard her cry since the first couple of minutes after she was born (only 1 week ago) and it was nothing compared to this. Trip and I feel pretty helpless. I know that she will be feeling much better tomorrow....

My heart goes out to you and Shelby, sweet baby girl. If you come home next week, I hate that we will miss you; I just want to gobble up that dimple chin, so sweet! I am glad/ecstatic everthing is going so well. We will see our neighbor soon, and well I guess you guys too :). Buzz says meow meow meow; which I translate to be, hurry up home! Love ya all...Shannon & Jim

ReplyDeleteHenry and I have been praying for precious little Shelby and for you. When Jonathan was almost 2 he had tubes put in his ears and I was emotional about that as they took him to surgery--I can't imagine how stressful it has been for you with all you have been through--but you both have been amazing! You're in our thoughts, Vicky and Henry Patton
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine what you both are going through right now--there is nothing worse than feeling helpless when it comes to your child!!! I am glad things seem to be going well...we are keeping you in our prayers!
