Sitting with Sally while she's pumping in the NICU. Incredible how much more relaxed & happier she is when she's here & when Zoey is doing well. Makes me feel better too in turn. Zoey is doing well today. She was scheduled to get the umbilical lines taken out but....guess what......Zoey fought that idea too. They were supposed to move to an arterial line & pic line to reduce the risk for infection as opposed to the umbilical line, which is only good for a little over 10 days. They were going to try again later however the people that put them in aren't available anymore today so they'll try again tomorrow hopefully. Zoey is doing well with the larger breathing tube & they've been able to actually turn down her oxygen levels again already, so at least she's cooperating in that regards. A nurse that we hadn't met with yet was very nice & very informative on all the lines, tubes, etc that Zoey is dealing with. She explained a lot of things that we had heard already but was good to hear a "refresher" on things as we are on information overload the past week. Alright, Sally's done. time to go hang with Zoey.
