Something like normal

Kayla had a hard time falling asleep last night. I think it was a combination of her teeth bothering her and her deciding it was time to relearn how to take the pacifier out and put it back herself, but with her left hand. She was partially successful at learning, but completely successful at keeping herself agitated. After a dose of Tylenol, a lot of soothing and chilled pacifier swapping, she slept from around her normal time to 1 am. Then she got us up, Jenn nursed her and she went right back to bed!

Also, they said her electrolytes have been perfect, so they detached all her tubes. She still has both IV lines in, but they're not connected to anything. She still has some monitoring cables and her EEG leads, but fewer is better. I think this may be because the nurses didn't like untangling her every 3 hours. In other news, they're much better at Tavern Puzzles.

They haven't removed the EEG- does that mean she is still having seizure activity?
