We actually had a pretty good nights sleep last night... Other than nurses coming in for this and that, but Mamie was great! She woke up chipper this morning.
And then things went down hill for a bit. She just couldn't get comfortable. Some tubes came dislodged here and there.
And at lunchtime the culprit was revealed. Her catheter was blocked. She hadn't gone to the bathroom since last night! I won't go into details on how this was discovered. Lets just say I won't win "mom if the cleanest cast" award. And for those of you that see us in the next 6 weeks, it might be best for you to keep some distance between yourself and Mamie. But I digress... Once that problem was corrected, Mamie took a 3 hour nap and woke up in a much better mood and even ate a little! We wheeled her around the floor in a wagon and let her look at the playroom. No participation today... Maybe tomorrow.
The staff here is wonderful. Very attentive, always seeing what we need alongside Mamie. Answering all of our questions. And they even brought Mamie a huge birthday bag filled with all of her favorites! Strawberry shortcake stuff, stickers, lip gloss. Very sweet.
We've also been able to share our adoption story with many and we pray that God uses it to minister to them in whatever way they need.
She's back down for a little snooze right now. We continue to pray for quick and painless recovery. Lots of rest and sleep. And a supernaturally clean cast.
