Jordan resting

Friday afternoon 8/31/07

Had a little trouble today with her holding food down.She has not been able to hold down any of her food all day so they put her on Zantec for acid reflux. We have another doc coming in later today to see why this is happening,if she keeps spitting up she will be going back to tube feeding.I hope that does not happen,she was so happy to get rid of that.
With that aside the heart issue is going as planned and all is well in that area.
I'm trying to figure out how to get a short video of her on here so check back, I'll get it...

Friday 8\31\07 Good News

Good news. Doctor just came in and said she was doing really well. Now we are down to 1 tube 1 iv and no wires. She is relieved I'm sure. They said we might be going home Sunday! Thats 2 days less than the min. stay they told us.

Friday 8\31\07

We finally got out of IC. The people were great up there and really great and took good care of Jordan.The regular room is so much more convenient and there is a place to sleep and shower in here so MUCH better for all of us. Jordan is eating from a bottle again as of last night.We went from 6 tubes/iv's and a lot of wires to 1 drain tube,1 iv, and not as many wires so she looks 1000 times better in that aspect.She still has a drain tube to drain fluid from around the heart and she still has 1 iv to give meds and take blood but that is a lot less than she had in IC.
We have been able to hold her as of yesterday which is nice for her and us.I cant believe how fast her color changed after the surgery,she has always been pale compared to Darian but I think she will catch her in a day or so.
The doctors say her weight will pick up very fast in the next few weeks so look out sis.They took her off oxygen last night and she is doing fine on her own. She did not need any all night and is still doing everything on her own. YEAHH!! I have some pictures I will post soon,I brought my camera and laptop but no cable. Scott is bringing me the cable today so I will post them later this evening. Anyway will keep you posted and thanks for all of your comments and prayers.

Thursday 8/30/07

Jordan's surgery was Tues morning at 7 am. It took about 2 hours which was 30 min under the average time it's supposed to take. The surgery went great and she was moved to intensive care right after.

She was under until Wed. night. They pulled the sedativies back then and she woke up.She is awake now but on a LOT of pain meds (morphine,oxycodone,and somthing else that starts with an a).

I think we are getting a regular room tonight or tomorrow so we can get out if IC. That will be nice because more than 2 people can go back at once and there is a couch type thing in there.

Kaden went back to wichita with dad and Jeanie this morning.He is gonna hang out between Dad and Moms for the next couple of days,I think he was sick of hotel life.

Anyway I figured this would be an easy way for all to keep up to date and I only have to type it once so Yeah for me for being SOOO smart! (just kidding,my spelling is that of a 5 year old so i cant be too smart,Dont Be Judgin) I will update this as often as I can so check back whenever ya want. Thanks to everyone who has helped us out in every way.
