Day 10 and Day 11 Post OP



 Looking out the windows on the fourth floor awaiting in anticipation for her brothers and sister to arrive.  Everyone was coming for a pizza dinner.  She has begun eating well again.  She feel asleep last night talking about everything she was going to eat tomorrow.

Saturday's 4 am x ray was clear.  As much as the x ray's show.  Apparently they don't show true amounts of fluids.  When she had her drain tube put back in there was about 3 times the amount of fluid expected.  Her little body was hiding it.  Good news was though it did not drain much afterward and this morning they removed it.  It leaked a little bit and the bandage was changed a few times, but we are much happier without the tube hanging outside our chest!  Today (Saturday) is another test day.  Trying to allow her to be as if she were at home.  We will drop the oxygen and continue to she how she manages on her own balancing the fluids/pressure in her lungs.  Pray for a clear x ray in the morning so we can go home!

Everyone wanted to be either pulling or attached to Huahua & the wagon.

She really lit up to see her siblings tonight!  They really missed her too.  



Mom really is needed at home....Jordan went to school today without pants!  Nice new shirt though!  I guess they all
thought it was a dress.    Yikes :)


Sweet sisters.....bonded forever...the best healing is snuggle time.
