So do not stimulate her when she is trying to sleep. Allow her rest.<br />Love on her when she is awake and accepting of your love.<br />She was designed to be inside and doing nothing and recieving very little stimulation at this point, so at this point - rest is best.<br />As she gets older, she will be more able to accept loving stimulation to teach her brain.<br />You will be instructed in all of this as you go along.<br />As yet, the staff are focused on keeping her stable physiologically. Her gases, her lab values, her blood pressure and so on. Her body has to be working in order for her brain to work.<br />So, first things first.<br />Take note that she will need extra attention to compensate for any insult to her brain, then be very encouraged that she has the capacity to compensate a great deal!<br />(I have a friend who went through preemie brain insults, and who cannot spell for love nor money, but is in every other way, fabulous!)<br />So, love her and be very encouraged, even if she has some abnormal brain tests for now.<br />Love to all, Jen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2532784668262435329.post-998619405358433272009-07-20T21:36:47.766-07:002009-07-20T21:36:47.766-07:00we paryed for you guys tonight at the womans bible...we paryed for you guys tonight at the womans bible study! we will definately be praying specificly for that tonight!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
