Here is an email from Stephanie regarding little Zoey and her bladder surgery. I have received a few prior to this but this is the latest:
Zoey has really turned the corner the last couple days and has had a couple great days and nights. She has been happily playing in her bed, smiling and laughing and not experiencing her pain in the evening. Still not crazy about nurses and dr's but seems to be at least tolerating their existence (yesterday when one of the urologists came in and was stroking her hair and talking she looked the other way and refused to acknowledge he was there, but didn't cry; friday she was playing happily with her worker from the TriCity Infant Devp't Dept and anytime a nurse/dr walked into the room she got totally solemn, then would resume her playing as soon as they left). She no longer whines to be picked up as she seems to have accepted the fact that she is going to be stuck in bed on her back for a while.
Not really any major concerns at the moment. We're trying to get her to eat and drink more (at home she was a great eater). Have any of you tried eating much lying flat on your back and digesting that way?.... i guess i don't blame her for not being as hungry as before...
While she is doing great overnights the last couple nights, we still aren't getting any sleep as the hospital policy is to walk into the room every hour throughout the night. I wake up every time the door opens every hour....so greg came last night to give me a night at home to sleep and he got a chance to also experience the hourly interruptions in sleep :) We'll have to see if they can perhaps bend the rules for us as I won't be able to cope with another month of this:)
Thank you all for your concern and help!
Thanks for reading!
