We had a good night - lots of sleep - until the resident from Pediatric Surgery came in at 5:45 (!!) to check Rebekah's g-tube. I'd like to know who sends these doctors on rounds before 6:00! Anyway, the Peds Surgery group has discussed Rebekah's tube and has come to the conclusion that they do not want to attempt using it again until all of the results from her blood work and stool cultures come back. According to our nurse, it takes 24 hours for the stool study to be completed, so we will not be using the g-tube today. We did not get those samples until close to 10:00 last night, and the doctor did not want to start using the tube at night, so it will be sometime tomorrow before we are given the green light to use it. At least, that is the plan right now. In another hour it may change, but that is our current plan.
Rebekah apparently woke up happy and in a very good mood! After the resident woke us so early, I sneaked Rebekah into my bed and we fell asleep for another cat nap. When Rebekah woke up, she was all smiles and playing. I laid her back in her crib so she could play with some of her toys, and she promptly rolled over onto her tummy - something she has never done before without at least a little help. The nurse and I were so excited to see her rolling! She played on her tummy for quite a while, then promptly rolled back over to her back, started sucking on her fingers and went to sleep.
On that note, I am going to sneak into the shower quick while Rebekah is sleeping. More updates to come as we get them!
