They gave her an IV in her tiny arm. She slept right through it. They drew her blood. She slept. She is brave, like her sister. I am glad she was so brave. I don't think I could have handled her crying. I almost cried when they put her under the light and were not going to wrap her up. She loves to be swaddled. She was so mad and I could do was pray that she would be comforted. I am so grateful the nurse changed her mind and let Nora be swaddled. She has been happy since.
She has been having difficulty eating. She eats a little and falls asleep, but tonight she ate for 16 minutes! I was so proud of her. Her last feeding was a whole 3 minutes long.
Little by little we are getting her on the right foot. I hope she heals soon. Elizabeth has a test on her kidney reflux later this week in Atlanta. Adam is going to the Netherlands later this week as well. I know all will be okay. It is just a little unsettling. I know Heavenly Father is watching out for us and he will do what he can take support and help us get through this little bump in the road.
I am so sleepy. I know I should be asleep right now, but it's hard to sleep when things are up in the air. I will pray she will be okay while I sleep. I hope her mask stays on and doesn't go over her nose. She will be fine. Someone will come in and check on her. They always do, right?
Please keep us in your thoughts. Let's hope little Nora's body weight goes back up and that her Jaundice goes down. Maybe we'll go home tomorrow if things improve.
