Gabby with her "hero"..
Gabby with her "other hero"...Dr JensenWe are two days out now! Gabby slept really good last night and Mark and I actually got some much needed sleep too. They did keep her on morphine through the night, and she had a few doses today too.
Last evening was a little rough. Dr Jensen came up to take off Gabby's head dressing to take a look at what was causing the bleeding showing through the dressing. They gave her morphine to help. They sat her up and cut the dressing off. I didn't really get a good look at what her head shape in front looks like, I was just trying to focus on calming her and reassuring her that we were there. Mark said he was really surprised at how good the incision looks. He never really looked at the pictures of other kids and was expecting it to look worse I guess. My friend and surgery sponsor Cindy, stopped by last night with her daughter who was having a surgery here today. It was nice to see another mom who has gone through this already. She really understands what it is like to have a baby going through this.
This morning at 6:30 they came to pull the drain tubes out. It didn't take very long, but was a bit uncomfortable for Gabby. She has slept for most of the day, but now is awake a little and shaking some toys! We had a bunch of visitors today. My parents were still here this morning and my sister Dawn. Some friends from Green Bay come down- Sue and Nicole. My college friends who live here in Milwaukee stopped by too and also our priest, Father Jimt came to visit. It really helped pass the time to be busy visiting! Thank you everyone for coming to visit and all Gabby's great gifts!!
