A Restful Day… for Haven and Mommy…
Early this morning, the doctors decided to pull out one of the two chest tubes she has left. They will continue to watch to make sure fluid does not build up in her chest, but we are excited that she has one less tube. Mommy was feeling under the weather this weekend so Daddy has had plenty of practice taking care of two women. Today’s nurse even assigned him some of her tasks. As Mommy was sleeping in a chair, she heard the nurse call in “Okay, Dad.” That meant he was to perform Haven’s bi-hourly care… diaper changing, taking her temperature, changing her position, and cleaning out her mouth, etc. By the end of the day he was able to do all but the mouth cleaning without an auditory complaint from Haven. We won’t mention how many diapers Haven went through in one changing… let’s just say she likes to wait for a clean diaper until she does her business. She has been sleeping a lot today, but wakes up once in a while to charm us. Grandpa and Grandma McMullin thouroughly enjoyed their time “babysitting” this weekend and many nurses pop their heads in the room just to admire how cute she is. We couldn’t agree more!
