Jolly Old St. NICU

Busy busy day for Miss Delaney. She had an echocardiogram, an xray, an ultrasound, several good feedings, 20ccs of fluid drawn from her left side, a visit from Santa, and a very noisily-filled diaper.

The xray and the ultrasound had revealed that there was some more fluid built up on her left side, so they did a quick little draining (no chest tube this time). Dr. Hawk says this should make it a little easier for Delaney to breathe, and that in turn should make it a little easier for her to feed.

I got to spend a good chunk of time holding her, which is pretty dang cool; it'll just be cooler when I can hold her at home.

At the end of the day Santa was coming to visit, so we got Delaney all gussied up in her best Christmas outfit, which she quickly attempted to befoul. Fortunately, Santa's an understanding chap.

You are never too young to poop on Santa. I love the pictures. Delaney you are too cute. Keep eating and getting stronger. We are praying for you to go home soon.
