At rounds this morning, the doctors decided that we were ready to leave the CICU! We have been here in the step down unit, called the heart and kidney unit (HKU), for most of the day. Truthfully, I am very glad we are here. But, it is Friday and when speech therapy came this afternoon, Princess Caroline decided she was too sleepy to eat. So...we will spend the weekend (at least) here in the HKU. We have a window now, and a little more comfy bed...and a shower that we don't have to share. How hard would it really be to have a speech therapist on call over the weekend? This is crazy.
I'm so glad all is going as well as can be expected so far. I'm especially glad you can hold her again! After "holding" her for nine months it must have been torture to put her down and turn her over to machines... but thank goodness for success!
