Photos and Home!


 In CICU

 Look at the blue number--this is her oxygen saturation level. We are used to seeing high 70's and low 80's on that screen. Now she is in the low 90's (almost normal)! Happy dance!

 Hanging out with her stuffed friends

Just a short time after chest tubes came out, she was a different kid--crazy driver though!

HOME!!! Back to an oxygen "leash" full time for a little while.

We came home Sunday afternoon--can you believe it? We had to go in for chest x-rays Tuesday and today to make sure her pleural effusions weren't getting any worse. Things look fine so no more hospital visits until we go to post-op clinic next Wednesday. Yay! We are amazed at her recovery! Now we focus on getting her off oxygen and getting her to eat again. Every day is better though! The best part is that I don't have to update my blog for awhile :) !!!
