The End of a Good Day

Bec and I are switching out nights at the hospital, so she's there tonight and I am about to jump into bed and catch up on some sleep. I am continually amazed at how strong Lily is. Right before I left the hospital the nurses extubated her which is fantastic for the day of surgery, so she's breathing on her own. It was great to hear her voice again, albeit was a little raspy from having a tube in it all day.

Dr. Donofrio swung by and chatted with us for a while. She said the key indicator of Lily healing is the chest tubes and how fast they drain the "muck" from her chest cavity. She said it could be days, it could be weeks, but so far everything looks really good.

So glad this day is over and that it went well.
