New Room

Well, I've gotten my snuggle on for quite awhile today.  In fact, Kylee didn't like for me to put her down, which is ok.  We moved to the step down room about 4, a little later because they were waiting for a room.  I am really amazed how fast she and some of the other heart kids I've seen progress.  Right now they are weaning her off of her o2.  She is on 0.3 liters and she is her sats are at 100%.  She is only taking lasix, which helps get rid of some excess fluid and tylenol as needed, which she just had because she seemed like her gums were bothering her.  Her congestion in her upper airways has gotten better after they gave her a good suction earlier.  I know she can still have setbacks, but still it is amazing how much she has progressed in 2 days after having major open heart surgery.

Thank you lots for all the prayers and thoughts.  It really means alot to us to have people we don't even know very well(as well as ones we do) send their well wishes.
