Feb 10- Day 6/30- First Night Alone

My baby spent her first night alone last night. Mike and I got to the hospital about 11:30 am to greet her. She was quietly reading her nook. Mike asked, "So how did you sleep without Mom and I snoring all night?". She said, "Pretty well, actually. I kind of liked it". She looks good today: sitting up, facebooking on her computer, texting friends. She looked at her phone. "Oh, lunch is over at school". She doesn't look sick. She is drinking fluids, but still doesn't feel like eating. The thought of food makes her cringe. She got her first dose of miralax at noon to help things get moving. Jess says that the alternating nausea medicines that are being given every three hours are really working. They keep her from really feeling sick and wanting to throw up. She is only slightly nauseous.
Colin, Missy and Laura are coming to the hospital tonight and Jessie is really looking forward to seeing them.  Oh course she is texting them worrying about the logistics of how they will get home.
I've been talking to the school IT people to try to get sykpe set up so that maybe she can "attend" some of her classes online. She would really like that and it would help to pass the time.

These are two of her pink sponge sticks that she now uses for oral care (she can't brush her teeth because it causes some bleeding). She made a  mustache!
