Day 2 - The 6th Floor

Things are a little scarier up here just because we don't have one on one nurse care. Its more lile 4 patients per nurse. The great news is that she hasn't had morphine since 4 am and we are in a great room with one another sweet little girl, a big window and a view. I was able to nurse Abby but we still haven't held her because of her big chest drainage tube. We hold her hand, stroke her head and sing to her most of the time. The doctors came by and said her lungs sounded good. She will stir and cry from time to time... But we are figuring it out. We can't believe that just over 24 hours ago she had open heart surgery. All in all, she is doing very well. Tonight we sleep in the room with her.
