Eye Opening

Addison's blood culture from Monday tested positive for an infection.  It's a really good thing they didn't proceed with the surgery.  The nurses kept commenting that she doesn't act sick so they didn't think she would have an infection.  Hopefully that's still a good sign that the infection isn't too bad. It was a huge blessing that they found this infection so early on since they were prepping for surgery and doing lots of tests because they said it would have taken longer to present itself.  Addison opened her right eye for the first time.  You can now see that her left eye is getting closer to opening.


Jordyn had a pretty chill day.  She was a little bit restless after cares but they upped her oxygen level a little bit and she calmed right down.  They've still been giving her some morphine when she needs it.  She started back up on her feedings and gets 1 milliliter every 6 hours.  1 milliliter is the equivalent of 1/5 of a teaspoon.

We had to get a picture of Jordyn in her rainbow bedding to send to her Aunt Kimmie!!

We tried Face Time there in the NICU with my iPhone and got it to work.  We'll definitely have to do it more often but I think it was neat for the boys to be able to see a live action shot rather than just rely on pictures.
