Fonatn Update

Happy saturday everyone. Yesterday afternoon we were moved up to East 8. The view is nice and we don't get bothered as much by the nurses. She is in room E875 and loving the fact that Mom and Dad can lay with her in bed.


Lilly had an exciting morning today; she had her other two chest tubes taken out along with her pacer wires. Dr. Mike from CV Surgery is the sweetest, he enjoys letting Lilly know what is going on at all times. Now with them gone, she looked at her "Friend" Dr. Mike and said, "I'm free!"   I am not sure if I care too much for the Cardiologist on this floor but... he thinks that she needs to stay until Tuesday. I don't want to rust her into letting her come home, however, I think that three days is a little overkill. We will see on the X-ray tomorrow and maybe it can be sooner.   We were able to leave the room and see the fish tank on the 1st floor and she was able to pick out her own movies. The Child Life lady on W3 make Lilly a sticker chart. Every time she accomplishes something like, a tube comes out, she stands, or walks, she gets a sticker. Every 10 stickers she gets a prize. She picked out a princess doll today! The sticker chart is really helping to motivate her to move around. She is slow going but everything helps.    Right now we are on room air and have been anywhere from 75 to 85 O2. Yeah that is a big difference but what can you do? Thank you to everyone for all of the prayers and we look forward to coming home soon.
