We're out of the ICU as of yesterday, and we're in the recovery wing of the hospital. This is good since it means we're one step closer to going home, it's not so good since we now have to share a room. But, we're thankful that we're one step closer to ND. Natalie is doing REALLY well, and continues to be more like herself every day. She's making her strange noises again, and is grabbing everything she can. She is sitting up, eating a lot, and getting some of her chubbiness (I'm not sure if that's a word, but it is now) back.
We're still waiting for them to wean Natalie off of the pain medications they had her on. This is a long process, and we're working on being patient. They also are watching the heart to make sure the functionality on her left side is getting closer to normal as her heart adjusts. These are the main barriers to overcome. Everything else is going great. She looks good and is feeling good.
We're still unsure as to when we'll be coming home. We're hoping for sooner over later. Again, we thank all of you for checking up on us, and for all of the prayers. We hope everyone's new year is going well.
Gimme' a hug.
Smiling again.
She's eating Sniffy.
Opening presents today, Christmas was a little later this year in our family.
She's more interested in the paper than she is the presents.
