PICU

Well, Libby is now in PICU, where she will remain for the next 24 hours to be monitored. The elation we felt when Dr Park told us the operation was successful soon disappeared when we actually saw Libby in recovery, she looked so awful. Although it’s to be expected, it’s tough when you actually see them looking so helpless and being in pain, it makes you feel guilty because we put her through this and you just want to take the pain away. However, it’ll all be worth it in the end, the hospital is fantastic and she is receiving the best care, she is quite heavily sedated and sleeping peacefully at the moment. It’ll be a long night but hopefully she’ll feel a bit better in the morning. Poor Ben was very upset when he saw her and really cried when he left with Nanny to go back to the apartment. We had been warned by the other SDR parents that the first 48 hours are rough so we are as prepared as we can be. I haven’t attached a photo this time as Libby doesn’t look great and thought it a bit unfair, hopefully we can post a nice smiley tomorrow! Again, thank you all so much for your lovely messages. xxx
