More great news!!
We were moved up to 7C last night, and after a somewhat difficult night of feeding and holding Mary Clare about every hour and a half, we were just told that her chest tube and pacing wires will be removed today! Only one IV is remaining in her little hand! Whichs means that there is not much more keeping us here!! We may even go home TOMORROW!! Her chest stopped draining, the fluid in her lung has gotten better and she is eating well and feeling well!! I was holding her a few minutes ago and she was pulling up and standing on my lap. She is so happy and back to her usual sweet self.
I think Mel is a bit disappointed about our quick return home, however. He was getting back into the old swing of things up on 7C, being “Mel.” He won’t even have enough time to get into serious trouble this time! (I hope)
What a wonderful day!

Keri and Mel,
I am so thrilled and relieved for all of you. What a true miracle your little one is!!!! You guys are amazing how you’ve handled all this! I talked to Bob Sat. after Sophia’s bday and he filled me in. I had to tell him about the party:) he missed!
Keep up the great work and have a wonderful Christmas!
Sandy
PS I hope Mel gets to do some damage before you are dismissed!
