It's one of the saddest things you've ever seen... poor baby's swelling has reached it's peak. After they took off her dressings, it tends to release a good bit of pressure and allow some extra blood/fluid to be released into her face. So now both eyes are swollen shut. It was so hard to see her struggle to open her eyes and not be able to. Breaks my heart. We expected the swelling to peak today, but I just prayed it wouldn't shut both eyes. But, I have to remind myself it is temporary.
The good news is she WAS cleared to a room. The only problem is that there may not be one available to her right now. If not, she will go into a small room located inside the PICU. It's not great, but it does have it's own bathroom and a small couch to sleep, so we can at least stay with her tonight.
Otherwise, all else is going good. Her vitals have all remained within normal limits and she is taking her formula well. Please pray that her swelling subsides quickly and she is able to rest comfortably.
