Okay..so that didn't work...



Okay so yep, we are staying again tonight. When we asked the resident they told us, "well why don't we see how she's diong after her nap..." then it was "well why don't we see how she's doing after dinner..." because after her 2+ hour nap she was still tired, didn't want to get up to play or color and said her stomach was starting to hurt. By now it's about dinner time so then comes the after dinner part. Well after dinner her stomach hurt even more and she only ate a small amount of fish. blah.

So what we asked them to do was to lock her IV so she's having to fully drink on her own and not count on the IV to keep her hydrated, get us a cart and an O2 tank to make her get up and out and then walk part of the way back. So all those things happened and now she's even more pooped then she was before but I'd rather her be pooped and complaining here then at a hotel 30 minutes away (thanks Linda for that reminder ;-) and have our only means of getting back here be 911.

There it is in a nutshell, we are here for another night, she's got to drink and start working all on her own in order to get out of here. Hence the reason that "day surgery" does not apply to Alana at all.

Awww, beeen thinking about you guys. Im so sorry to see she is struggling a bit, poor baby. Im praying little Alana improves overnight. I so wish I could come visit and bring her a little something special. Jack has had this junky cough for weeks now and wasnt doing so well with his tummy again today(not tolerating his feeds) Im almost positive he's not contagious at all but I still dont think anyone would want him around. Jeff might be staying home tomorrow, if so I could leave the house and come up to say hi. I hate to think I missed you since youre so close. Im so happy to see she got to visit Woodland Park Zoo. AND sorry about the bratty little roomate! BUT glad to hear theyre treating you all so well. I have nothing but positive things to say about that Hospital and the staff. You can email me jhpierce3@comcast.net to let me know if youre up to any visitors. As always,LOTS of hugs and prayers. Heidi and Jack.
