Scott stayed with Jiliang late last night. She started to get agitated because they were suctioning her ET tube. She hates that. Then all of a sudden, she got a really mad expression on her face. My husband recognized that face and said, "It almost looks like she has a wet diaper." Sure enough, she did. The nurses asked if she was potty-trained and Scott said, "Oh yeah. After her catheterization procedure, they wanted to put a diaper on her, and she wouldn't let them, and chose to use a bed pan. She hates diapers." Just for giggles, Scott is super-familiar with the potty expressions, because that is his cue to say, "Mom, she looks like she needs to go to the bathroom."
Our girl is definitely showing her spunk. Hopefully, she will get that breathing tube out today or tomorrow. Then, she can come out of sedation.

ReplyDeleteDear Jill!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I can just hear Scott say "Mom, it looks like YOU need to take her potty"! Just kidding, but not! So glad to hear that her breathing tube may come out to day or tomorrow, and that sedation can be eased! It was so good to hear you and TJ had such a great time together with the Life Flight Tour etc... You are are very special mom and giving TJ the time to be around his sister during her recovery was so good for him to feel close to her! Lots of good, positive loving thoughts, and healing prayers for your darling daughter as well as for you, TJ and Scott! Love and Hugs, Cathy
