Recovering Well

The biopsy went well this morning; though, we were a little late getting in the procedure room so missed the same-day-return cutoff for results.  We'll see what's up some time tomorrow and go from there. 

Shayna is sleeping now; though, we were just discharged from the recovery area.  She fell asleep nursing (reason #2 I'm so glad we still nurse) about 30 minutes ago and I'm hoping she'll stay out for at least another 15 as she really needs it.  She was pissed and starving when I got her 11:30 after the biopsy.  She gulped 5oz of breast milk right away (reason #3: formula is considered "food" so is not allowed but breast milk is a "clear liquid" so can be given right away) and yelled for more so we gave her another 2 1/2oz of pedialite.  She's had lemon-sugar ice, cheerios and more breast milk and she's held it all down so we're all pleased with her recovery from anesthesia. 

Reason #1 for still loving nursing came yesterday when I was told I could breast feed until 5am for a 9am procedure.  Midnight would have been the cutoff for formula.  I woke her at 5am (yes, I cheated a little).  She was pissed enough that she nursed on both sides, thank goodness as that was the only way we averted full blown melt down until 10:30 (yes, the biopsy started a "bit" late and we had the usual 3-poke fiasco getting the iv started after that).

I'm ready for dinner as I've hardly had anything to eat. We'll stop at the cafeteria on the way back to the Ronald McDonald so Shayna can do some people watching since we don't have a good car-watching window (that's what we do at home during meals).  Tomorrow we'll be finding some outdoor entertainment.  I'm thinking Schenley Park since it has lots of trails for me and swings for Shayna.
