Christi, her Mom and Grandmother went to see Savanna this morning. The Neonatologist that took such loving care of Brandalyn is back from being out of town and got to see Savanna and talk to Christi today. Dr. Ahmeed is a wonderful doctor, we just love him. He is very caring and nuturing, and believes that one of the most important parts of patient care is family involvement. So, Christi got to touch her sweet baby for the first time today! The day Savanna was born, they wisked her away so quickly that Christi only got a glance of her, and when she saw her later that day, she was already in the incubator. Today Christi had the chance to change her first of many diapers and get her first photos with Mommy. She was so excited!
Savanna continues to do so well! Dr. Ahmeed bumped down her ventilator a bit because her respiration is so good. She had a port placed last night so they won't have to stick her so much, and she did very well with that too. Dr. Ahmeed told Christi he never likes to say he's optomistic, but that's exactly what he told her today! They are going to try her this afternoon on her first little bit of breast milk. Christi also got permission to take a few photos today, (the NICU is a little cautious about digital cameras interfering with the equipment). So here's Savanna, 4 days old. The photo of her and Daddy was taken on Saturday, May 17th, when she was about 3 hours old.
God is Good!
