Florescent Night Strolls May Be A Thing of the Past

Yet another day of less tubes, in fact, today no tubes at all. She has been freed from anything holding her down and doesn't even have a pole to hang on to. She began her walks last week with a walker, a pole to drag behind her and family to walk beside her. She then moved on to just the pole and family, then just family and tonight even a walk by herself. She continues to feel good with pain only ranking in at a 1. In hospital terms that means that the meds, or as we like to call it, the good stuff, is not always needed. Her nausea is still an issue but she is now back on a diet that 7 month old babies are used to, and that seems to do the trick.

She is continuing to keep the shingles under control and not bothered by them even though it is cramping our style, but really this is not about us. We are being cautious, but continue to show her our unwavering love by giving her tender pats on the back while wearing blue latex gloves.

We are hopeful for tomorrow! Her Doc came in today and is still impressed with her progress and even gave her the OK to come home today, but it looks more like tomorrow. We are all thrilled with the possibility of her homecoming tomorrow on Christmas Eve and even more thrilled with her speedy recovery!
