Post-Op day 2 - April 9

I didn't get to go see Baby Girl today because Big Big had an orthodontist appointment so I called on our way to services to get an update. Lesson learned: don't call around the girls because then I can't ask questions without having to explain everything to them. It also doesn't give me time to process and figure out and make sense of things before everyone asks how she's doing.

She had a bit of fever yesterday (99-100ish) and they weren't sure if it was from the central line or just her body reacting - still waiting on the blood and urine cultures to come back for that; but her temperature has been normal today. Her urine output has somewhat regulated itself but she hasn't had a bowel movement in a couple days now so they'll be doing an abdominal X-ray tomorrow.

They did a chest X-ray today and noticed some foggy areas in her left lung (the good one) and think she has a partially collapsed lung from being in one position for so long. So they started respiratory treatments similar to what she was getting before to help strengthen her lungs. Because of all that, she's still on the ventilator and they'll be monitoring her even more closely.

Prayers tomorrow would be appreciated as they look at her bowels and that tomorrow's chest X-ray will be more clear.
