Doctor came in and apologized for the nurses who pushed Shawnah to get up and move. He did not pass on that the Spinal did not work and that there was no pain medicine in Shawnah. No wonder she was hurting to bad. He then prescribed medication to help with the pain. The nurses then told her that because she had a catheter and an IV, she could not go into NICU. To get the catheter out, Shawnah had to walk to the bathroom twice. So, as soon as the pain meds kicked in, she was up and in there twice before the afternoon hit. She then had to shower before the IV came out, so that evening, that is just what she did. She wanted to see those babies so bad. So, by 9:00 that evening, Shawnah got to see the girls.
We had more visitors that day, all day. We want to thank each and every one of you who came by to see us and the girls. Though it might not have been shown that day, it truly meant a lot to us to be given support.
The babies mostly just had more tests done and slept. They have a ventilator tube to help them breath, an IV in their arm to get blood and medicine in and out, an IV in their belly buttons (or cords) for other blood and medicine to be taken in and out, a cuff that measures their oxygen level and their heart rate on their foot, the sticky patches on their chest and back to measure the heart rhythms, and the tiniest blood pressure cuff you've ever seen on their leg.
