Maia is out of recovery and has returned to a new room on the pediatric unit. She could not remain in the rehab unit post-operatively. If all goes well, she will likely return there on Monday.
I just finished reviewing meds with one of the nurses. Maia has been on a taper of her scheduled Oxycodone and of course, now the medication is written as needed. They are working on getting this clarified, I want to make sure that she doesn't miss any of these doses - doesn't need withdrawal symptoms on top of everything else.
So far, she's been resting quietly. Did smile when daddy sang to her. I'm going to try to get a little sleep as soon as the nurse is done with her assessment.
I feel like a broken record, but thank you for your ongoing prayers for our sweet girl. It makes this journey a bit easier knowing that so many people are lifting her up! I'll update more in the morning.
Love to you guys...couldn't sleep so stopped in here to check in. May God be right over Maia's bed...
ReplyDeleteI don't have Internet for a day and I come check on Maia and I can't believe she's had surgery again. Keeping you all in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness God chose a NP for her mommy :)
ReplyDeletePraying for Maia to begin recovery once again. Praying that she feels well enough to begin showing her personality and strength. Praying for renewed strength and optimism for Melanie and Mark. Praying that Matthew gets to spend time with Mama and Daddy and feels their love for him.
ReplyDeleteThank you for telling us specifically how Maia is doing. That way, we can pray specifically. No broken records, just music. ((((((( HUGS )))))))
ReplyDeletePraise God! Covering Maia in prayer for healing and miracles. Hope you and Mark are able to get some rest while Maia is resting. Praying for you all. Hugs to you all.

ReplyDeleteSending prayers and positive thoughts your way. What a long journey you have been on. I hope things settle down now and Maia gets stronger and stronger
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that she is able to feel like smiling, to me that is always a good sign. My prayers continue as your sweet girl heals. You are amazingly strong as is your family - hospital stays are so tough on everyone. Thanks for sharing your story.
