Plan for Day 3

Dr. Berch's associate, Dr. Blewett, just came by and said she looks great on paper, took the dressings off her incisions, and said that looks good, too. He wants her to get up 2 or 3 times today, and he said we will start replacing the epidural with some oral narcotics tomorrow because you only get about 3 good days out of an epidural before it stops being effective.

I can't say enough about the staff here at Blair E. Batson Children's Hospital. Maybe it's because this is our only experience with a children's hospital, but these folks have all been wonderful...even the student we had yesterday was as sweet as he could be but was a nervous wreck (I was reminded that it is probably a terrible feeling having to perform in front of your instructor and the patient's family when you're so green). I really should've given him some slack in my earlier post. Sorry, Chris (not that he even knows this blog exists...but my confession makes ME feel better...LOL). Anyway, we would highly recommend this hospital to anyone with children...it is top-notch in every way.

Here are a few of pics from the hospital if you've never seen it:

    Lauren's progress is amazing. I was so impressed with Blair Batson hospital when my nephew had surgery. The entire staff was so compassionate. Hug Lauren (gently) for me. Teresa

    Praise God!!
    We are so happy Lauren is doing well. We've been following the blog and praying for you all. Brooke really wants to come to visit. Do you think she is ready for visits or should we wait until you guys get home? Please tell her Brooke is thinking about her and says hi.

    Lauren and Amy,
    It is great to hear how much better you're doing today.
    The Lord is your Shepherd! His mercies are new every morning.
    God bless you immensely.
