Eden Day 9

This is a photo of Eden getting a new IV today. Jeremy said it was a good thing I had left the room while this was happening. Eden didn't like it much either. Today has been a little hard for Eden. Her oxygen levels are not where we need them to be and anyone bugging her (such as nurse care sessions) cause her blood pressure to go up and her oxygen levels to go down (in layman terms). They called Jeremy and I to the hospital at 11:30 a.m. today. The calls for us to come are always scary and mean she is in trouble. They have also tried giving her a few different medications so we will see. Jeremy and I will be at the NICU all day. Too nervous to leave. Maybe Eden just missed us. Her abdomen is still dark and gray, they did x-rays on it and couldn't find anything, so they are treating her for a staph infection or fungus. They took cultures to find out but don't want to wait for results before medicating these micro preemies. They try to catch everything at first signs of a problem. Bless her little hard working soul. And of now she is still critically ill but stable.

P.S. Paige is a little emotional over mom being gone so much (she has been so good for the last 2 weeks but now her emotions are starting to show). She refuses to talk to Grandpa Val or answer any of his questions. I told him not to take it personal. She just misses me. I told Val that she told Grandpa Roger last week that he could go home, because she would be fine without him, and that if he goes to his home, then her mom will come back home. Poor sweety. She is hanging out at the NICU with us now. Hopefully we can give her enough parent time to get her to tonight.
