Surgery still stinks. Maggie has had 3 epinephrin racemic treatments and will probably have another one or more tonight. She sounds like Darth Vader, which isn’t cool for a little 5 lb baby. It upset Dad tonight, which is pretty much a role reversal from where I was on Tuesday. I am hopeful that she has a very restful night and her poor trachea heels and the swelling subsides. Her lungs are really good and she didn’t need her cannula for a significant portion of the day, but it is so much work to get that air through her trachea that she needs a little help.

Evie just fed and grew, although she still needs a lot of practice on the feeding part. She wasn’t being a very active participant during practice. I did give the girls their first manicures today. Their finger nails have been scratching me, so I brought a file and smoothed them out. Actually, Maggie only got one hand done since she still has her IV.
