Good Weekend

Emma had a good weekend after causing the nurses problems on Friday. On Friday, her nurse Robin had to stand at her isolette for 3.5 hours trying to calm her down because she was so agitated. They finally found something to calm her down and she rested peacefully through the weekend. They were unable to determine why she was so irritated, but she is doing better now. On Friday they did another head ultrasound and her brain bleed is improving. It looks like it will all absorb back into the brain. That’s one less thing to worry about. Emma is now 3 weeks old and is starting to gain some facial features. She opened her eyes quite a bit this weekend too. Alissa is starting to know the charts very well as she journals everything for the future. She noticed on her chart that they wrote that Emma will need surgery once she reaches 5 pounds. That is much better than the 3 pounds they told us. Hopefully that means she will be able to stay at this CHOC until then. We have become very attached to the nurses and doctors. We are not looking forward to starting over again at another hospital. Thanks again for all you prayers and support.
