Victoria here... it is almost 9pm, they still haven't let Maya have milk yet. The politics of the hospital and the CYA. The NICU RNs won't do anything unless it is written in a work order from the Dr. It is interesting to watch the pecking order, lots of different RNs and MDs and which ones can actual make decisions vs. others and the conflicting information they say. Like one said a few hours after surgery she could eat, now we have to wait until after 8pm and when she is alert and wanting food.
The results of the xray showed fluid in the chest cavity, according to the NICU RN, that is normal and they are not yet concerned. They are watching for respiratory distress, which she is not displaying. The next xray will be in the morning.
I am staying at the hospital again tonight. They have a sleep room for me again and I intend to go to bed earlier tonight. Chris is staying at the Ronald McDonald House again tonight. Tomorrow night, Chris is going to have hospital duty and I will stay at the RMH.
Chris and I did manage to get out and grab a bite to eat outside the hospital tonight. We ate at a whole in the wall Indian restaurant. There were a lot of security guards on the UPENN campus tonight. We think there is a big sporting event or something going on. They were searching one man's suitcase outside one of the other hospitals... strange. But it was nice to be out of the hospital and spending some time focusing on something else for a while.
Next update tomorrow morning...
