Yesterday was a rough day/night which is why there was no update yesterday. They decided they would move us at midnight out of ICU and into a general recovery room. We moved to a shared room but thankfully had no roommate. Because of the move we got very little sleep that night and to top it off there was no rocking chair or glider in the new room. I asked if I could get one and they said that they did not have any in the wing that we were in and could not get one for us. I found it ironic. One of the most comforting things to a young child is to be rocked, so why would you not have any rockers in a children's hospital?
Yesterday evening Savannah started taking her meds orally and she was able to take in some childrens motrin and her Prilosec. Soon after she felt good enough to take in two ounces of formula. I was almost in tears I was so happy! By morning she had eaten eight ounces! The goal was two ounces to be released. So now we are finally home. What was only supposed to be a day or two stay ended up being five days, but at least we are finally home. For the most part she is pain free and is only taking Tylenol and Motrin. I am happy we can get away without any narcotics although we did bring Tylenol with codeine home just in case she needs it. Now it's time to catch up on some sleep!
