Brooklyn had a good day yesterday. She was happy most of the day. She smiled at everyone who came to her bedside, including her Nana and Papaw and her two big sisters, who were super excited to see her. So, so sweet. She even played in the swing happily for a brief time and took her first post-op bottle like a champ. So fun to watch her enjoy some things that she normally does at home. Then night time rolled around. She was inconsolable at times between 7:30 p.m. Saturday to 2:00 a.m. this morning. Poor baby. She was miserable. After rounds this morning, we talked to the cardiologists about her day yesterday and what approach might be best to help her. They indicated that this type of irritability (usually due to headaches) is not all that uncommon post-Glenn. However, we should start to see a decrease in irritability not an increase. They decided to increase her diuretic as there's a good chance some increased fluid retention is causing her headaches to worsen. They are also administering the heavier pain meds again regularly around the clock.
Today has been much better. She has rested a lot off and on throughout the day and has even had a couple of good awake periods. Thankfully, during those awake times, she has seemed much more like the Brooklyn we know and love. So happy with the relief she's had and the improvement from last night. Now, if we could just stay on this track!
Oh, and she turned five months old yesterday!! :) So hard to believe our beautiful, amazing baby girl is five months old already.
