Norah had a really hard time waking up from anesthesia they used during her MRI this morning. She wasn’t on a breathing tube and her stats were stable, but she just couldn’t seem to wake up or stay awake! Her MRI was at approximately 9:15am, she had her last feed from 3:45-4:00am, and didn’t eat at all again till nearly 1pm. She had a really hard time staying awake long enough to get much and did so at both her 1pm and 3pm attempts to feed. Naturally I was getting nervous because she wasn’t on an IV drip, so I was afraid her electrolytes we’re going to be even further out of normal range and that she would be dehydrated. They gave her IV fluids around 5:15 and by 6:30 she had eaten twice and was more alert. We rechecked her sodium levels and the doctor on the floor talked to her GI. After conferring between the doctors, the la b, and myself, we felt comfortable about discharging Norah. We finally made it home around 8pm and have been resting and nursing ever since. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. Hopefully she will continue to eat well and we will be able to follow up with her GI doctor later next week!
