Today my dad made a surprise visit to see Scarlett. He brought her a mink bear that was made from my grandma's mink coat after she passed away. I remember when I was little, I saw that bear in an old box down in my parents basement and always wanted it. Scarlett's a lucky girl, I'm jealous!
Scarlett's breathing seemed better tonight. They stopped her feedings again, though, because they've been pulling out bloody residual from her stomach. They aren't sure where it's coming from, but it's possible that when they put the j-tube in, it could have cause some irritation to her stomach. They plan to see how her stomach is tomorrow before they start up her feedings again.
Her heart rate was a lot calmer tonight and her oxygen was set at 70%. (21% is room air)
The kids made get well soon cards for Scarlett. Her wall is getting quite the collection of art work!
Jon said today, he was wiping Scarlett eye with cold water- he didn't know any better:) and he said Scarlett startled from that. He thought it was a good thing since she was moving her muscles. I actually noticed her do the same thing when I was playing with her ear. We also noticed her trying to move her whole body slightly. Every little bit of progress is a big step for us.
