| Enjoying her breakfast in bed. |
So why are we still at the hospital when she looks so good??? Her lung x ray shows fluid in the lungs on the right side again this morning. There is a balance after the fontan procedure of fluid intake and pressures in the lungs. We are trying the find the happy medium for her body with oral lasix medication in comparison to her daily input/output. They are monitoring her closely, along with oxygen saturation, which have been fluctuating on the lower end of the acceptable level. We are thankful for the team of doctors and nurses working to make Huahua's heart/lung function at the most optimal level. So if that means a few extra days here, we will endure.

| She gets a little antsy in the room. I figure soon they will just want to kick us out of the ICU! |
 |
| Always entertaining the nurses. Stacey is one of her favorites. She has the pull cord on her name tag and let's Huahua pull it over and over and over again. You can tell which nurses truly love their profession and strive to make this a happy place for the kids. |
 |
| Who wouldn't love this giggle and laugh? |

Another favorite nurse, Karen, taught her this move. Thanks alot! I told her keep teaching her tricks she'll be extending us
some free babysitting! |
 |
| Nothing makes her smile more than these goof balls! Hard to believe it's only been 5 months she's been home. Huahua is so part of this family we can't imagine it any other way! |
 |
| Dad took them all downstairs while I took a shower. Huahua was able to be off monitor for awhile. She loved the freedom of no attachments or cords dragging behind her. |
 |
| Handsome young brother is just head over heals for his little sister. |
 |
| Funny faces ;) |
 |
| My sister and me! |
 |
| We all had lunch together outside in the sunshine. You forgot how good the sun feels. What a great afternoon with the whole family. The kids played hide and seek and chased the bouncy balls around. |
 |
| Played hard, and then passed out! |
