The night was a little better than we thought it would be. Last night around 7 I decided to see if she would be OK in her bed. Amazingly she rolled over and went right to sleep! An hour later the CNA came to take her blood pressure, which Daphne hates, so she woke up screaming. Seriously, do you really have to wake a sleeping baby for blood pressure??? Really?
Usually our family motto is "hugs not drugs," but in this case we're more like, "are there any drugs available? Can we please have them?" Once we gave her something and snuggled for awhile, she would be ready to lay back in her bed, where she would sleep until someone else came in and/or her drugs were wearing off.
But this morning a tiny bit of Daphne is starting to shine through. She'll try to talk or she'll wrinkle up her nose. But mostly she's just moaning and looking miserable. She needs to start eating and her pain needs to get a little more under control so we can go home. Hopefully later on today.
And by the way, can everyone who comes in here please just check her chart to see that she's a girl? I can't really put a flower on her head here, so I need ya'll to help me out. No more "him," please.

Is David on drugs, too?
Grandpa will be able to relate to being asleep and having someone decide to take his blood pressure.
I hope Daphne starts eating soon and her pain starts subsiding.
Maybe Daphne needs a tiny pink bow stuck to her head, like the one you had when you were a newborn. We know she is a girl!
So glad things are getting better- and poor baby- those nurses seem to come in every time you fall asleep. hopefully she can get some rest and food in her tummy today!
Poor thing! I'm glad the night went by better than you were anticipating. I hope she feels better soon and can get some food in her tummy.
I see a bottle in the background, was she able to drink some?
