I haven't been around much the past couple of days and my heart is breaking for you & Amelia. I wish I could be there to hold your hand! Sooo many t&ps for you both. You are seriously one of the strongest people I've ever had the pleasure of speaking with.
Thinking of you and Amelia. I hope all goes well with her surgery. How soon might she be released if everything goes smoothly?
They always keep babies overnight for observation 24 hours after surgery. So we could be out tomorrow morning.
Uneventful night. I'm wondering if the seizure/whatever the hell it was was some kind of reaction to the sedation drugs. She is at higher risk of developing seizures, but she had never done anything like that ever.
Surgery in a couple hours. T & P appreciated. She had the biggest smile for me when I came to check on her a couple minutes ago, so the pressure is still minimal. She is getting pissed again because she's been NPO (nothing by mouth) since midnight.

Yay for the surgery going well! Boo for idiot providers who don't understand what "isolation" means. I really can't believe you've had such a hard time explaining that during both of A's peocedures.
I'll continue to send positive thoughts to you and A. Hope she has a quick and uneventful recovery.

We're trying to come up with a plan for not having to come back here. Her neurosurgeon is one of the best in the country, so we don't want to lose him, but this place is a total cluster. I mentioned in randoms, but there's a 4 year old alone in her room right now because the nurses can't figure out whose she is. The place is dirty. A has pulse oxygen monitors on and someone set them to alarm at 99 and 100 percent saturation (which is perfect satting) so they've been going off for half an hour and no one has been in here. They asked me when her last dose of pain meds was (I don't know, not my job right now to provide complex medical care), they asked me if she had surgery today (shift change, and she's got a giant bandage on her head), they asked what kind of formula she was on. I feel like this stuff should maybe be covered before you go into the patient's room.
Bottom line: I would not feel comfortable leaving her here overnight on her own when she's bigger. I don't trust them. No one communicates.
