Whew!!! It took a long time for Allison to recover from the anesthesia given on Wednesday for her surgery. She went back on the respirator for breathing support during the surgery and stayed on after during recovery. Allie was pretty groggy for a few days and just took her time relaxing and catching up on some sleep. The doctors told us that each baby reacts differently to being put under, so we just waited and waited. Finally, Friday night she snapped out of it and transitioned back to her usually self....Miss Fiesty!
Things are back on track now, Allie is 6lbs 3oz and on a straight canula now. The next step will be feeding her this week. She likes her pacifier a lot, so hopefully that will go well. She has taken a new liking to her musical, light-up, moving, rainforest crib entertainment center and has decided that she no longer likes the "princess" mobile as she starts crying every time we turn it on! Allie is now responding much more to our voices and smiles like crazy! It is so heartwarming!
We are counting down the days until she can come home, hopefully within a couple of weeks. The nursery is now complete and we're just finishing up a few minor touches...all we now is Allie!
