Red Eyes

Just had to show you how pitiful my baby girl looks.

The red on the outside of the eyes is just dried blood that we have not wiped off yet because we don't want to irritate her eyes anymore right now. They are so red though on the inside where they cut the eye muscles. She was able to eat. They gave her some valium for the pain. She then had an episode and desatted down to 6 and went dark blue and had to be bagged. Once she came up she was fine. So, they have her on a slightly higher breathrate and on a little oxygen. They are going to try to wean her off the oxygen but I think it would be good for her to have it throughout the night. She is still running a low grade fever...they said if it hits the 101 mark then they are going to do a culture on her blood and urine. The did a trach aspirate because of her excess secretions and the yellow color to them. So far the culture has not grown anything but it can possibly take 5 days. They finally checked her ears and said they looked all clear...thank goodness because I really don't want to hear ear tubes are in our future...we've already had enough surgeries for now. The good thing is I was having to suction her almost every hour last night (she's rarely suctioned at night) and sense she's come back from her surgery she has not had any congestion or needed suctioning. Her nose is another story and has been pretty stuffy...I think it's allergies. So, please continue to pray for her to do well throughout the night and that we will be released before 3pm tomorrow so we will not get home too late.
