We are still improving! Shunt tap officially came back negative, and every hour just gets better and better. We've had a nice trickle of traffic in and out today, mostly "in" because she's doing so well and no one wants to leave! She is comfortably resting right now, first nap all day since she woke up at 7:30. Everyone is very pleased with her progress.
Thank you for all the birthday wishes yesterday, by the way. It has to go down as one of the worst birthdays ever, and turning 30 didn't actually have anything to do with it...needless to say, there was not much to celebrate yesterday. I'm glad I got to celebrate last Saturday. Good call, Jay!!! Age is truly just a number and a birthday is just another day. Who cares what day you actually celebrate!
There is nothing worse than watching your child suffer. I have never seen anything like that before. I'm sorry to our visitors who witnessed her at her worst. Especially with her being so young, she just did not understand any of that!! I am glad that's behind us, and the really good thing about it all is she's never gonna remember any of this. She's so young, and a lot of these kiddos have this surgery later on in life. What a trooper.
We are probably going home tomorrow, as long as she continues to improve and has a decent night. We are going to do one more dose of the antibiotics tonight just to rule out anything on the pending culture. Well, I'm off to Lovejoy for final dress rehearsal of Music Man, and both Jay and Elmo are gonna hold down the fort for awhile. Come on down, and say hi to one happy kid, or come see us at home tomorrow. Either way, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
