Both eyes are open

Felicity still has swelling but both eyes have now opened. Little by little her beautiful blue grey eyes are sparkling more and more.


Her vitals are still doing great. She was only on Motrin and one dose of Lasix until I asked that she also get a dose of the Tylenol to cut the edge (the nurse had stopped the Tylenol because she said she doesn't like to give babies medicine via the rectum). She's eating well; not as much as before but now that she's feeling better, she should start picking up. It'll also help once we go home and she's back to her familiar surroundings and routine.

The hospital provided a volunteer offering Reiki sessions, so we had one. It helped us stop and be completely in the moment.

Now that she can see, my curious lil baby has come back in full force wanting to look at and study everything and everyone just like before. She was super talkative with so much to say. It's so wonderful listening to her laugh, snort, talk, blow bubbles...  My heart is so overjoyed! It's a challenge trying to keep my baby from rolling on her belly when just a month ago I was thrilled and praising her when she did it for the first time and since then, it's been the norm for her. With the new environment and having had her eyes closed for so long, she faught taking a nap(s) all day. That's okay though because it's made for a very quiet, sleepful night for both baby and mommy.
