Good Morning

8:08 am

I just called to check on Cayleigh. Her stats were perfect throughout the night. *PRAISE THE LORD* The bad news is the IV in Cayleighs foot, which they told us they wouldn't replace if it went bad, went bad. When I called jsut now they tell me they've put an IV into her scalp. The nurse says she was comfortable during the procedure. Honestly? How the HECK do they know she was comfortable? Because she didn't make any actual noise? Did they look at her face to see if she was in pain? This makes me angry. Daddy is calling to ask them why they did that.

8:45 am

Nic called back and said that both the IV's (the one in her hand, as well as the one in her foot) were not any good. That the nurse felt she wasn't getting her fluids, or preventative antibiotics, very well last night. It's the nurse I liked (one of them)..the one who is tall, slim, has long sandy brown hair and big blue eyes. She's got a sort of larger nose - maybe Greek I think judging by her bone structure and attributes. I like her and she has been the NICEST nurse as far as how I've seen her responding to Cayleigh. She calls her lovebug. :) So, I guess it's ok that the IV is in her scalp - but Juliette and my mom are coming up today with Nic so I know it's going to be a little stressful for them both to see it. Probably for me too. My first thought? That baby girl needs a headband :)
