Starting to Get our Girl Back

We are starting to get our girl back!  She isn't smiling yet, but she is more alert when she is awake and I got a little wave.  Her nurse Kerry just removed the IV on her right arm and also her catheter.  They were hoping to remove her chest drainage tubes, but when Dr. Overman stopped by this morning, he said they have to stay until tomorrow. They also detached a lot of the tubes from the IV in her neck, which gives her a little more mobility with her head.

Overall, these changes make such a huge difference.  She can hold her blankie, take her pacifier out when she wants to, rub her tired eyes, etc. it also makes her look more like our Hattie girl!   And that is a very good thing.
