Saturday update

I'm going to give a warning that the blog posts may not be as regular or lengthly once I go back to work this week.

Farrah did not need any sedation meds today and mainly slept through the day, according to her day nurse. When I arrived at 7 pm, Farrah opened her eyes and looked right at me. After that, she stayed awake until her rounds were over. She seemed to be fighting going back to sleep, so I held her pacifier in her mouth for a minute and then she started to doze off. That pacifier definitely comforts her. Farrah also had hiccups again at the end of her diaper change. She looks less puffy each day, which means that all the extra fluid is getting out of her. When I left her tonight, her night nurse had her lying on her tummy, which is one of her favorite positions. Hopefully they will have an eventful night. I usually call the NICU before going to sleep to see if there are any updates. The NICU also gets a call from me right when we wake up.
