Day 3

Ahhh, sweet sleep! I think I got 5 straight hours of sleep last night. It was fabulous!

Today is a day of pain issues for my Butterfly, but our dear Dr G is on top of things. While she is sleeping I've working on getting myself further addicted to facebook. I can sit here at the foot of her bed with my laptop and be here the moment she moves or opens her eyes, but still be putzing around.

We gave the Butterfly a unit of blood this morning so that's helped a lot of her perfusion issues and she's continuing to battle her temp, but one of the pain meds we use also helps lower her temp so we have it down to 100.2 and are pretty happy there. We'll see how that goes. No one is making promises, but the docs seem happy with where we are, but guarded as far as her infection status. Time will tell and at least she is no sicker than yesterday.

We did get to give her a little sponge bath and she is decked out in her Red, White, and Blue...necklaces, hairbows, t-shirt, the works.
