Today went well. Dr. Assaley came in early and said that April looked well. She is still getting tired easily and having severe abdominal pain. Her labs are about the same. The nephrologist came in and said that he would see her in his office for an appointment at the end of the week.
I don't feel that April is ready to be released. She barely has the strength to walk the 15 feet to the bathroom. Kylee is doing well. She is off oxygen, the tube for feeding is out, she is now receiving formulas as well as breast milk, the IV is out, and she was off the CPAP machine for six hours today. That was the longest she has been off of the machine at once.
Uncle Matty, Meemaw Teresa and Peepaw Larry came to visit. Grammy Pam and Papa will also came and brought Ayden with them. It was really good to see her. I really miss her only getting to see her for a couple of hours a day.
Granny Do and Poppy and Papa Ruben and Grandma Violet also stopped by. Buddy Perry came by early this morning.
While April went up with Will and Pam Uncle Matty, Meemaw, Ayden, and I walked over to Mcdonald's for some chicken nuggets and apples. April was able to feed Kylee from a bottle while she held her during that visit. She said that she had some problems sucking. She didn't do very good with it at all. She will get the hang of it. Ayden had the same trouble. Kylee spit up and April got a little upset with one of the NICU nurse's comments. It wasn't Kylee's nurse, just one that happened to be walking by.
She came back to the room and I immediately could tell that she was in extreme pain. Her teeth were chattering, although she was not cold. She was wincing from pain and she was on the verge of tears. April is a very strong woman. I know she was in 10 kinds of pain. She was able to pump a little more milk and I took it up to Kylee's nurse and she said she would give it to her the next feeding. The day ended with April going to sleep quickly, although I don't think it is a peaceful sleep. She is flinching and talking. It may be a long night.
