Sorry I haven't been able to update as frequently as I would like. We don't have Internet access in Sierra's room, so for me to post an update I have to leave her and can only do that when Dave is here to be with her. Sierra is doing amazingly well. Her epidural is keeping her pain free. She is eating a fairly good amount, and she has been watching movies nearly nonstop.We did have some trouble with her feeding tube, and after 2 attempts to reposition it, and X-rays to check if it was in the right place, we found out it was kinked so they just removed it. If she needs to have it put in later on, she is a pretty good girl about it, so for now she gets to go without it.
The drain tube that was in her leg was removed today, she was really anxious about it, but it was relatively simple, and she didn't feel any pain. They plan to start weaning her from her epidural soon and we will start work tomorrow on getting her up and out of bed for a bit. At this point she only complains when she has to be moved and repositioned, so it may be a bit tricky getting her out of bed, but she is a tough girl. I will try to upload a few pictures this evening when I go back to the Ronald McDonald house to sleep.
