Puffy Baby

 


We aren't sure what caused what...but since her chemo this morning we have had:

  • Inconsolable screaming for an hour
    • ativan (anti-anxiety and anti-nausea med) and back massage while she was on her tummy finally calmed her
  • Woke up with extreme facial edema (swelling) as if she had had an allergic reaction to something
Fortunately, her fluid levels over all are GREAT.  She has actually peed more than they have given her fluids - which is great news.

She has perked up since this picture and is playing in her Exersaucer.  Our nurse for today (who I LOVE) and another nurse who I have listed on our Primary Nursing request list just came in and entertained her quite a bit.  We got several smiles and even a couple of coos.

We have had one more vomiting since this morning, but completely manageable (haven't even had to change her clothes yet).  Eventful day but not nearly as bad as I was afraid it might be.

I've seen that puffy face before on her Mommy on a certain cruise! Let's hope she won't look like that on a future cruise. It also sounds like she needs a visit from a great ape to help with her screaming. Alas, he is too far away!

Precious girl and beautiful mommy! I miss you so much! Thoughts and love constantly coming your way, though. Can't wait to have the chance to hug all three of you!
