First couple days of hospital stay

Sorry for being out of touch! It's been a stressful week in our household with Ellie being in the hospital, and hubby on night shift. Jakob would much rather be outside than visit his sister in the hospital, and Ellie is not impressed at being left without her family. She's happy to have the nurses, and her fan club, but it isn't the same as having her mommy at night. Sigh. The first night was good, and I'm trying to get us ready to go in to see her this morning. I'm sure last night will have gone well, too. If she continues to do well, they'll send us home after a week. From there, we will do weekly studies, using the hospital oximeter, to see how she does week on week. There's no way I'm going to feel comfortable having her OFF her oximeter at night, especially not after hearing about the loss of a 10 year old with PWS this summer, due to an overnight obstruction. We took Jakob to PlayLand yesterday, and he LOVED it. He didn't want to leave! Between walking all day, and being stuck in no-natural-light-TCU, it made for a long day.
