No Surgical Updates Yet

Sharon visited Evie in the hospital today, but she was unable to speak with the surgeon or any of the resident cardiologists, so we don't know what the results are of their discussion of Evie's case from yesterday (even though the doctor we spoke with on Wednesday told us he would call us on Thursday). I know that the cardiac surgery team at the hospital is the best, but their communication skills with the families need serious work.

A nurse did tell Sharon that they wanted Evie to gain more weight, and that her instructions were that if Evie was not taking 50 cc's (30 cc's in an ounce) every three hours, then she would have to go back on the NG tube, i.e., the feeding tube. Sharon was able to feed Evie a 2 ounce bottle, but it took her nearly an hour to finish because Evie kept falling asleep during the feeding (but at least she took it).

We're going to call our cardiologist from Edwards on Friday to see if he has any news for us.
