Picture #3: Do you see what's not there? Today, the wound-vac machine was beeping and not drawing out anything. I asked if they could change the dressing and....there was no more bubbling discharge!!!! The wound-vac is off and she has wet-to-dry dressing, and if it continues to go well, then possibly we could scoot home on Friday! I am the happiest of all happy people right now! Her trans hepatic picc line will likely come out tomorrow too. I see the light at the end of the tunnel. :)
Picture #2: This is what our deary looked like this morning. She had spit up and the tube had come out, so...a nurse practioner decided to just pull the tape off her face, and this is what happened.
Picture #1: Avery likes to stretch and so some mental "hoorays". (before tube came out)Also, yesterday my brother and sister in law, Dave and Leah came up for a visit. They brought their 5 week old sweet little baby James too (obviously). He is so precious and it was fun to visit with them. Thanks for coming!

Hurray for a light at the end of the tunnel! She looks just darling in her little purple outfit with matching flowers. I am so sorry about her poor little cheek. I never told you, but I did mental hoorays for you every time I saw how great her sweet cheeks looked because I knew you had to be working hard to keep her skin so sweet and smooth with the feeding tube and all. She'll heal quickly and return home in the hands of a more qualified tape remover (YOU!). One more proof that you are an amazing mom, your doing an awesome job Renae!
Yeah! I'm glad things are going better- we will pray for home on Friday!
I can't get enough of the pictures. What a little sweetheart. I, too, will pray for home on Friday!
AAAWWW that poor little cheek!!! Prayers are in order for a friday homecoming- I'm amazed by your strength!
That is good news! Tube out, homeward bound. I'm so glad to hear this, but tell me where to send my package.
