PICU - day 14 Monday cont....

So Emylie's afternoon nap was about 4 1/2 hours long...she was tired! The nurse changed her diaper and that didn't wake her up. It wasn't until they turned the light on to do her trach cares that she opened her eyes reluctantly.
While Emylie was sleeping a darling friend stopped by for a few minutes. She brought a a darling Mickey Mouse book for Em and a giant coloring pad for her sisters and some snacks for mom and dad. :)
They weened her PEEP down to 6 - that is her home setting right there!!
Just before Emylie woke from her nap, Dayna stopped by. So when all Emylie's cares were done we painted her finger and toenails. A little before 7, we skyped with our family at home. Emylie LOVED seeing her sisters. She quickly tried to show them her painted fingernails. It was nice to be able to let her sisters see her too. They all miss each other. Emylie was very disappointed when the skype call was over. She leaned over on the tray in front of her with a disappointed expression. She and I colored some more and played with the horse. We watched a little Mickey Mouse and Little Einsteins (she even patted her legs when the Little Einsteins asked her to help). About 8:3o pm I could tell she was getting sleepy again. I told her she could play for a few more minutes and then it would be time for bed. As much as she tried not to fall asleep, about 9:30 she gave in and was out for the night.
