Baby S update - 8.9.08
Posted by: Devyl GyrlHi everyone 
Again, thank you for following along and offering your emotional/mental support, prayers, warm thoughts, and positive vibes. C & B feel very blessed to have my extended ‘net family pulling for them. And I am grateful for the venue to vent, bitch, and moan so that when I talk to C & B or see them, I can be warm and happy and full of positive energy!
Today, Baby S has had a good day. They’ve moved her back to an infants & toddlers room … but are still discouraging visitors. 
Baby S had another blood transfusion earlier in the day, and C & B said that she had been looking much better for most of the day. She was laughing and showing far fewer signs of pain and agitation. Her appetite also picked up, and she kept C awake all night, nursing every hour (YAY!). These are good things.
Towards the end of the day, though, her stomach was hard and distended. She *may* be bleeding into her stomach again. The surgeons came in to check her, and said she’s not showing real signs of bleeding out, but they will be checking on her throughout the night to be sure.
All in all, it has been a good day. I miss my best friend. I miss the baby. But I’m glad she seems to be responding positively to everything so far. Chemo starts Monday or Tuesday. I’m not sure which anymore (everything is CONSTANTLY changing!).
We’re just continuing to smile and we’re choosing to be happy today. We will take every little bit of good news we can get at this point. And lil Baby S is STILL smiling and cooing tonight.
Thank you everyone … I will continue to update as things continue to happen.
