Afternoon Updates

Mallie's surgeon came in earlier this morning and thought she looked good - belly was small - was not producing much from the NG tube.  So he agreed to take her off suction to gravity.  Also he talked a bit about her heart rate and temp with me.  He was not sure if her syndrome had any plays in this at all - since she does tend to run a bit lower on the norm.  Either way the Cardiologist was going to take a look at her EKG.  The EKG took like 5 minutes and was over.  Grandma Tana and Great Aunt Kathy came by for a visit - Mallie was up and happy most all of the time.  Except when they come in to take her assessments.  She hates them people!!!!  Today we had a student learning - which was extra special!!  She took extra long......the cardiologist said that everything looked good with her heart - NORMAL:)  her temp is still slacking back down to the lower end again and as she sleeps now I am watching the monitor drop into the 60's.  Its a little freaky - but how normal is it - its not like we check her heart rate at home 24/7.  I have the heat in her room cranked and extra blankets on her.  So hopefully whatever is making her cold will knock it off.  There is a possiblity we may be able to start feeding tomorrow - we just have to wait and see.  So right now while she is napping - its nap time for me too.  Be back later........
