What are you waiting for?
On April 15 at 7am Rowen had her pins and traction were removed. MRI of her hips looked very good. Her hip bones were healing very nicely.
It is such an amazing feeling to hold my baby again! I have missed it so much.
Guesses on how big Rowen is now?!? She was 11.6oz 23 1/2in when arrived in March!
Update: Here it is!!!!!!!! She got so big!
She's 15lbs 26in
Yesterday was VERY difficult! Rowen was so sore and just cried all day long. Today has been a bit better :)
Stent #2 was removed today! She still has her SP tube and it will not be removed until her ultrasound comes back and kidney function looks perfect, hopefully that will happen in the next 4 days. She will stay mermaid wrapped for 2 weeks to ensure complete healing, her legs are extremely sore and hurts her to move them still. Weaning the large list of narcotics Rowen is on will take awhile and the pain team is going slow to make sure she is comfortable.
On top of the meds an issue we are facing is eating by mouth. Unfortunately Rowen has not taken a bottle or breast since before surgery and is still on her NG tube. We are working with OT on feeding.
Please pray/send good thoughts that Rowen will wean well and start eating soon! I am so thankful for everyone’s support and love! Team Row Boat!!!
