SLEEPING BEAUTY

Little Miss is still sleeping from the sedative, etc that she has been on since her chest closure.  We expect her to wake up sometime later today.  Mommy is VERY excited to see those pretty blue eyes again.  It's been too long since I've seen them!  She is resting comfortably and is doing well.  Dr. Mendeloff suggested another attempt at mommy's milk to see if she will tolerate.  So far, so good.  

Her stats look good overall.  The menagerie of docs caring for her continue to tweak things like medication, oxygen rates, etc to ensure her lungs and other organs are getting balanced blood flow, among other things.  We are hopeful that once she wakes up, the rest of the way home is a smooth trip.  Our next big hurdle is coming off the ventilator which will start to be weaned tomorrow most likely.  All we can ask for is continued rest and recovery.
