Sorry for the delay in posting. Trying to get ready for Christmas. Here's a breakdown of what's happened the past few days.
Tuesday & Wednesday--Dani Jo was knocked out from the pain medication. The stomas from the surgery looked well. They started to decrease her medication on Wed. in hopes of getting her awake and on the track to recovery.
Last Night--She was much more alert and awake. Still not feeding yet. She was beginning to stool through the colostomy. Yeah!! She was very pale last night. Her white blood count (I think it was white) was low, so they needed to give her about 2 oz. of blood to help this out. They tried to stick her for an IV for about 2 hours. They finally got one to stay and work in her arm after about 7-8 sticks. They gave her the blood she needed last night.
Today: Amanda went to see her today. She said Dani Jo looked much better and had much more color to her. They began to feed her today with the bottle. She's only getting 7 cc right now each feeding. Dani Jo's not happy about that. She is used to getting 70-80 each feeding.
I think a realistic possibility of her coming home may be around the first week of January. She still has to get her feedings up to normal and be transferred back to the home ventilator. I'll try to post some new pics sometime this weekend.
Thank you Chestnut Grove for everything you have done for my family. You all have become family to us. Your good deeds will not go unrewarded. Thank you.
God bless,
Joey

Amanda, Joey, and girls,
Hi and Merry Christmas! I am praying for your family each morning and night. I didn't even know about Dani Jo until last weekend when I asked Maddie how you were doing! She is a beautiful little girl just like her sisters! I want you to know that I am here for you if there is anything I can do to help out. You are in my prayers! God bless!
Love,
Robin Hodges
