Charlie Claire is having a little bit of a rough morning...she has a fever which is apparently pretty common with the type of surgery she had so the surgeon isn't worried but C Bear is a tad uncomfortable. She is also having a blood transfusion right now because her hemoglobin level is low...again, apparently normal since she lost so much blood during surgery. Her body holds about 650cc of blood and she lost 450cc during the surgery. C is a quite pale and doesn't have much energy right now.
The left side (that is the side the surgery took place on) of Charlie Claire's face is pretty swollen...right now her left eye is bruised and completely swollen shut. They said that today is the peak day for swelling and that after today it should start to subside. The neuro and the surgeon are both still pleased with everything. Her movements are good, her responses are good and she has started bottle feeding!!
Hopefully after she gets the blood she will perk up. Please keep our baby girl in your thoughts and prayers...
