Yesterday was a fairly uneventful day - which is good when you are the CTICU. Claire got a lot of sleep and got a lot of fluid removed which is a good thing. Our one concern was watching her temperature hover 100. Obviously we the parents are a little concerned about our asplenic little one with a temp but all the Doctors continue to say they are not that concerned about it as it is normal post operation. We continue to try to get her to eat more.
Claire did wake up enough at times to talk to us. She would lift her IV filled arm to the sky and point to the painted ceiling tile that has a fish and say "fishy" She also talked about her doggie and I got her to laugh a little by playing peak-a-boo. It was good to have some interaction with her.
We got to share a meal with my parents at the hospital and spend some time with Colton. We appreciate all of the support we have received from our families and I know that Colton is living it up right now when he does not have to be with boring mommy and daddy all the time.
Our hope is to be in the step down unit tomorrow. C5 here we come... hopefully.
