Woke up...it was a Monday morning

Daddy's coming today!! Really excited to see him. 
Mercy woke up with a slight fever. She was wrapped up pretty good in blankets last night and got to sleep next to her mama so we are hoping those are the contributing factors. Doctors made rounds this morning and said she's looking good...and happy. She's always happy :) (except when she can't eat - just like her Daddy).
The ultrasound yesterday didnt show any clotting in her PICC line which is awesome. The removal of the Foley (catheter) was a success and her epidural site is looking good.  Her JP drain is still putting out quite a bit of fluid, so the goal this week is to see a decrease in the fluid and see some more action in the poop department. Nothing happening yet today.....come on green, stinky poop.  What I wouldn't do to see a little diaper rash....that would signify bile flow.  She is able to eat "ad-lib" meaning when she wants and as much as she can tolerate.
Today, we will continue to enjoy the lab holiday, continue to root for stinky poop and diaper rash, all while waiting for Daddy to come.
