OHS Recovery: Day 3

Claire had a little bit of a rough morning, she got her chest tube and pacemaker wires (and accompanying stitches) removed.

But the day only got better from there...... We made it out of the PICU!

 

We are now on the floor we were on a couple of weeks ago and Claire is doing very well. She was able to come off of her oxygen last night and had her central line (and more accompanying stitches) removed as well. She's even on regular breast milk (through a continuous NJ feeding pump), we will wait a couple of days to make sure that she is tolerating that well and gaining weight again. She had an X-ray last night as she hasn't been pooping and we are still waiting for some test results - blood, urine, and stool. We are all shocked at how quickly she is recovering, she truly is a strong and feisty one. This has all been at her pace and she is flying through it! What a whirlwind of a week; to go from the very real fear that something could happen to her to having her "almost back" in just days has been nothing short of an emotional -crazy, terrifying, and amazing- roller coaster.

We are truly amazed at the number of people who have been following our journey and keeping Claire in your prayers, THANK YOU! It touches our hearts so deeply to know that she is surrounded by so much love, it really does <3.
