Gabby got settled in to the PICU and is doing well. They have many monitors on her checking her heart rate, her blood pressure, and a few other things I forget right now:) You can see the drains they have coming from her head that are draining the fluid and blood from between her skull and skin so it does not pool in her scalp. She has been sleeping ever since we came in here. I guess she was trying to crawl out of the crib before we got to come in and they had to give her some morphine. She needs to be still for the next couple of hours to stop the bleeding. Also they don't want her crying as that can increase her blood pressure and also cause more bleeding. It feels really good to be here next to her and have the worst behind us!
