Ray's mom flew back to the Bay Area early this morning. We had a very nice visit with her. Ray and I both dropped her off at the airport and then drove to the hospital for a quick visit with Farrah since we were already more than halfway there. We came home afterwards and took a long nap. I am still making sure to rest right now and hope to get clearance to drive again after my follow up at the OB office on Friday. I also have a follow up nephrology appointment tomorrow and hope that it will go well. I decided to switch nephrologists after my hospitalization because the team that followed me seemed very interested in my history and interested in doing more diagnostic tests to see if they could identify any other reason for my blood pressure issues. It will be a bit of a transition to be seen by a new team, but I think it is for the better.
Tonight we found out that Farrah hit the two pound mark! It is still possible that her weight will dip below again, but we are so happy that she has had a steady weight gain despite not getting breast milk for the past few days. We also hope that it is true weight gain and that she is not retaining that much fluid.
They did an echo of her heart today to see if the PDA issue is gone, and we should hear the results tomorrow. The night nurse and day nurse told us that they could no longer hear a murmur, so hopefully that means that it has closed.
Farrah was very alert during yesterday evening's diaper change. See photo below.
I hadn't looked at this in a couple of days and was absolutely thrilled to see so many new updates!! It sounds like Farrah is doing SO well and I am so proud of her :-) We're continuing to pray for you both and for your little bub. You two are taking such good care of her and she's a lucky little girl to have you - and you to have her. Much love to all of you xxx
