We survived the first night. Rilynn slept pretty well despite all of the nurses and doctors coming in and out of our room. She started off Thursday pretty well, but a fever slowly crept up and put her in a grumpier mood. Her diet was restricted starting late Thursday night since she was being sedated for her MRI. She had a terrible night of sleep Thursday. Having her epidural removed Friday morning was probably the worst thing We've ever witnessed. Although the epidural itself wasn't painful to remove there was a lot of tape and tape that went under the cast making it hard to remove. After waking up from her MRI she was in a lot of pain and we had to get that back under control. Her MRI showed that her femoral head is in the correct place, there's just not much there to hold it in place so we have to be VERY careful with her. Her cast is extremely tight; much tighter than previous casts. And the diapering hole will make things interesting because it is tiny!! No pictures from today. She doesn't look like herself and we don't really want to remember her looking like this. But here are some from Thursday.
She's got all of the essentials... Elmo stickers in her bracelet, binki, Minnie Mouse, Baby, and a braid to keep the hair out of her face.
At least her toes are pretty!

Took a while to get her to leave the IV alone.
