Tuesday

Today we got word from one of the Dr's that we may be released as early as Thursday, if all continues to go smoothly. Tonight her temp snuck up to 37.7 C (100 F), so we're counting on it NOT going up any further through the night, or we may have to stay much longer.

Mom and Eden had a good day here at the hospital. Eden felt good enough to attend a music class put on by the child life services group. After music time was over, Eden spent the better part of the day dragging mom through the halls. Tonight when i arrived at the hospital, Eden had us both walking up and down the halls. It's actually quite a bit of fun for us all to be together, and Selena and I both enjoy witnessing Eden's attention to sights and sounds. She notices things we overlook or take for granted, then we usually end up taking a few moments to stop and talk about whatever it is she noticed.

Have I mentioned that Selena and I really appreciate Eden's nurses?? We've been so extremely blessed to have really great nurses taking care of Eden. When i say "taking care of Eden", i mean things like changing E's bed and setting it up real nice with pink blankets and arranging her stuffed animals, encouraging and playing with her when it's time to do the blood pressure test so we actually get a good one, being gentle with the temperature readings (inner ear), pretending they are listening for monkeys in her tummy when they listen to her heart and stomach, and over all treating Eden in caring but yet fun ways.

Dinner tonight consisted of a really big basket full of home cooked food and desserts, a real treat - thanks again Suz!

Thank you all for continuing to read our blog and for supporting us through prayer!

#15 - I owe you a phone call.

  1. Look forward to hearing from you, and knowing how all is going with Eden, mom and dad, too. Glad to hear it was a good day for all. We pray that the temp stays low so that Eden can return home. What peace of mind you enjoy knowing Eden has the wonderful nurses to care for her. They sound like angels in disguise. You are in our prayers and thoughts always as you travel the hills and valleys of this trip, know that Jesus is with us always along the way. Bless all of you. Love and hugs, Aunt Mary & Uncle Heinz

  3. Sounds like good news in the making with the temp staying down and Eden's energy level. Keep up the good work Eden! The blood cultures not growing was a huge victory. Hope for things to continue. Steve J.
