Leah's swelling is getting worse as the morning goes on. For some reason the left side is worse than the right, which is the side where the distractor was placed and more of the tissue, skull and dura was exposed. The nurses guess it's because we have her head turned to the side and the fluid is draining to the left. Her heart rate is also up but that's most likely from the pain, so they have given her more morphine in the hopes that will slow it down.
When I was nursing her she passed some gas, but it didn't smell like a dirty diaper. I figured there was no way she was dirty so soon after surgery, but I stuck my finger in the side of her diaper just to check. What a rookie mistake...!
