We had an ice storm this morning and I was worried that we wouldn't be able to make it to visit Delaney today. For my first day away from the hospital - not what I wanted to hear.
The ice melted off by mid afternoon and we made our way to St. E's.
Nurse Julie gave us great news as we walked in... ALL 3 CHEST TUBES WERE REMOVED!
On Friday night we were told that IF the night went well two of the tubes would be removed, so to come in this afternoon and hear that all three were gone made me very happy. With the tubes out, Delaney can now be swaddled and I think she looks much more comfortable.
They added a few blue lights under her blanket to fix a bit of jaundice and that's what the blue glow is.
She is still on the ventilator but the settings are steadily getting better. I'm very hopeful we will be able to make it to the CT by Monday and then we can decide what plan of attack to take. You know me --- I'm much more comfortable having a plan for forward motion!
It's amazing how much life can change (and change and change) in such a short time.

Well, you beat me to the blue light special joke so I'll have to move on to the next on:
Novalee Nation had the Wal-Mart baby but Pikl will forever be known as the K-Mart baby :)
I can't wait to meet her. Even as little as she is, I feel like I can still see changes everyday.
I am so anxious for the entry where you get to tell us that you held her all day!
We're thinking of you every minute!
