Shayna had a rough day yesterday recovering from the morning's MRCP (a fancy MRI) because of the sedation. She barfed up her meds afterward, hardly ate all day, and slept a lot, which are all regular and normal side effects of the sedation. It was the worst reaction for her that I've seen. She got a lot of holding and babying yesterday because she felt so crummy. She finally began to come back to herself around 9pm and nearly doubled what she'd eaten all day by downing 3.5oz. She made me work in the night too as her appetite is starting to come back. We're also nursing again too, which makes the nights tons easier. (I hate fixing bottles in the middle of the night because it wakes me up so much while I can change diapers and nurse in my sleep.)
Medically, we missed rounds yesterday as we were out at the play rooms (people watching not playing) so I'm not sure what's going on there. Her bilirubin had dropped to 1.8 Wednesday and the steroids seem to be having their usual side effects of puffy cheeks, irritability, and increased appetite. They also have a 98% success rate for kicking the rejection.
Shayna is with Grandpa Michael today so I'm free till 2pm (we start our "teaching" then about post-hospital Shayna care) so I'm going to get back to being free.
