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.

Thank Heaven for Little Girls like Abigail who

The Little Lady is a gem
Look within a heart so perfect as it beats
She is a perfect treat
The little one who lights the way
She has come to stay
Thank God for this Precious Little One has come our way
