Let me just say she is amazing. She's doing great. After her nap and a snack she was sooo excited to play with her toys she was just a jibber jabbering away! We didn't need the arm braces during the day. She just doesn't put her fingers in her mouth. Actually I left her with one arm free all last night in the hospital. It was a rough night. She was up here and there and of course every time the nurse came in with meds or a vitals check. She really hates getting her blood pressure taken. God Bless Liz the night nurse, Robyn wanted to play around 1230am and I was beat. She took her down the hall with her to hang out and was able to get her to eat more jello and drink some. I go 2-3hrs of sleep. THAT was awesome.
She had a good amount of drooly blood from nose, mouth and ears at first but it's lessening. Now she's just drool drool drool. She doesn't want to swallow, must hurt some. Dr. was happy with her healing already and she ate some so we were allowed to go home.
The pain she is experiencing the most is from her IV spot. The original IV done in the OR got bent or something and they removed it yest afternoon because she couldn't get it to flush. So we took it out.. well Robyn wasn't drinking so we decided to redo it in the other arm for the night so she'd have fluids.. well however this person did her arm.. man she looked like she had Popeye arm! poor thing, and when we got home it was sore!!! she did NOT like us touching it and there were blisters and raw spots.. it's just awful! So we took the bandaid off and tried to clean it up some and I put some neosporin and some gauze so it heals up some tonight. She has her arm braces on mostly because we can't be sure she won't put her hands in her mouth. Don't want to ruin anything and have to go through this again!
So thank you EVERYONE for all your prayers we could feel them coming our way. I can't say it enough how blessed we are to have Robyn, she is just an angel.
