November 3 — Dinner Time!

Even though Lori’s BP remains high, the doctors have decided that she is out of the danger range. They plan to keep her only one more day.
Yesterday, Abigail’s 2nd chest tube was sealed off and today it was removed. The plan was to have a nurse remove it, but Abigail apparently got tired of waiting and removed it herself! She did a great job, however and there were no complications. Now, lets see if I get a bill for that procedure! The feeding tube was also removed (by a trained professional this time!), so only the IV, oxygen sensor and heart/respiration leads are still keeping Abigail tethered to the hospital. For the first time, the doctors have suggested that she should be able to go home as early as Wednesday!
With the feeding tube gone, Lori was able to nurse for the first time — within 2 minutes Abigail had become a pro! Lori will begin sleeping in Abigail’s room so she can feed her throughout the night.
Feeding time is hard work! Mama and baby need to rest!
…and rest…
…and rest!
Did I mention that nursing is hard work? (Someday, I’ll probably be sorry I posted this one!)
