Bentley had her MRI and MRA done today to look at her brain and heart. We will hopefully have the results tomorrow. Sometimes, it takes a couple of days to get results. Her chest tube had to be turned on because she has a little build up of fluid seen on a chest x-ray. The surgeon is so sweet and has been by twice in the past 4 hours to assure us that all is well and she is closely watching Bentley's x-rays and the fluid build up. Tomorrow, hopefully, Bentley can be extubated. When she gets off of the ventilator I think she will heal faster.
She is so beautiful. She is our precious sleeping beauty. We are by her side all day. The nurses don't seem to mind. The night nurses even read her good-night stories.
Her cardiologist also came by today. He is really nice. He re-assured us that Bentley's heart is ok. Daddy Shawn told her that her unique anatomy just gives her super powers:)
Jamie & Shawn,
ReplyDeleteBentley is so beautiful! I am so happy to hear that she is recovering well. We spent a week in the NICU with our 2nd grandson-I know it's scary, but you are in good hands-good nurses, doctors and other staff, but more importantly, a loving and caring and mighty God. Ya'll please let me know if you need anything-Love you, Renae
