Upstairs to R3

Text from Kate 6/24/2011 6:19pm “Cleveland we have poo.”

Ingrid is doing so well! Unfortunately her wake/sleep schedule is messed up so she kept Kate up all night “flinging poo like an orangutan”. In the brouhaha she lost her nasal cannula and was not affected so it was determined that she could be “on room air”. And her extra IV was removed so she has both hands free! She’s had several bottles of Pedialyte and was advanced to milk mixed with formula this morning. Hopefully real food is in the near future.

After a crabby morning wandering the PICU in the sling, we were finally moved upstairs to a regular unit, R3! It is much more peaceful here, so she is able to sleep. And there is an entertaining playroom full of toys!

Dr. Barksdale called us all the way from Philadelphia to let us know that if she has a good night (she’s stable) she can go home tomorrow!!
