No ventilator, no chest tubes, no catheters, no heart wires, no feeding tubes. She is just on a little oxygen. Ignore the redness, it's just from all the tape and bandages,
They have also taken her off certain medications. Right now, they're trying to get this little sleepy head to wake up- So I can hold her and feed her my milk with a bottle. I am without a doubt going to cry. Happy tears.
They also are waiting to hear her cry. Because she was ventilated, she hasn't been able to make a peep- literally. Now her vocal chords are a little raw, but she's made a few cute little squeaks.
So, we're both waiting to cry. We deserve it, no?
She looks amazing! And you guys totally deserve some tears... of happiness!

ReplyDeleteTechnically, she has been able to make a PEEP. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_end-expiratory_pressure)
ReplyDeleteSorry, medical humour. It's a disease. (Sorry, medical humour.)
I am so happy to see her with only one tube hooked up to her, and can't wait to meet her in person. I love you guys so much and hope everything works out to the best possible outcome - a long, happy, and healthy life for the heart warrior.
Baruch HaShem!! May she continue to get stronger and stronger and make both of your cries reach Shaarei Shamayim :-)
