RCNIC Waltz


We are quickly learning the RCNIC waltz. As you can see from the picture there is not a whole lot of lounge space around in this area. The picture below is Sophia's current bedroom. While visiting there is basically room to stand beside her bed. You quickly learn when you need to move and or get out of the way for the nursing staff. We have a really wonderful Nurse named Jessica taking care of Sophia. At this point they are really trying to learn what keeps Sophia's vitals in check, doing little adjustments each day getting her one step healthier. We were present yesterday when the doctors came through on CDH rounds. There were 13 doctors/nurses huddled around discussing Sophia. Lots and lots of numbers were discussed, but overall they were very positive. Dr Limm said that he believed that she could be ready for her repair as soon as two weeks. OK, while this seems like a long time in all reality it's not. I think about it like this... She was born at 38 weeks through induction. If she went to her due date which was April 13, she would have been the full 40 weeks. So basically if she keeps progressing positively she will get her repair about the time she was suppose to stop baking. While it is hard to see our little one in this photo, she is sleeping in the bed, surrounded by a really neat comfy material called z-flow.
