I'm not posting any more pictures since she is still spread out on the air mattress playing PS2! On Monday she started crawling, but only to and from the bathroom. She is also going on a wheelchair ride everyday on the concrete. She's still not able to push though.
Her doctor is on standby over the weekend, thankfully! Hope has had a bump on her spine that has been coming and going. No fevers or anything! It became pretty big two nights ago and I called the nurse. I spoke with the doctor yesterday and he suggested extra pressure on the spine to help the fluid absorb into the body. So far so good. She has started complaining of headaches though. I'm not sure whether to take them seriously or not. Hope has such a high pain tolerance with this stuff and I don't want to over react. (If she gets a small pin hole size drop of blood coming from her finger the world is over! Surgery or something serious, no sweat!) This is how things started before. Here's hoping history doesn't repeat itself.
We have an appointment with the nurse Wednesday to get the staples removed and stitches taken out. The nurse we see, Mary, was one of her PICU nurses at birth. What a small world! I wanted to keep everyone updated. Thank you all for your support and prayers!
