Slow and Steady

When did Friday get here?  This week has flown by!  It started on Monday with surgery to close Landry's chest, and now we're already heading into the weekend.

We are still in the PICU.  Same room, same boom box in the corner rockin' K-LOVE 24/7.  Perhaps the reason we haven't given an update these past four days is because not much has changed.  Her swelling has slowly improved each day, but she still has 500-600 mL to flush.  Most of the extra fluid has gathered around her torso and back of her head. The doctors and nurses are not concerned...it's just a matter of time.  Other than that, her vitals are good, her wound is healing, and she's just getting cuter and cuter by the minute!

We continue to pray for no infections, continued healing, and strong lungs.  Her true test (extubation) will come soon...please pray that she will seamlessly transition from breathing thru the ventilator to breathing on her own.

We will soon get to hold our baby once again!  Praise the Lord!!  Thank you for your prayers!
