No More Tubes!

Yesterday Ari was taken off her oxygen, except for when she's taking her bottle. And her feeding tube was taken out. We can finally see her cute little face without anything on it. Last night's nurse said she was up most of the night. I thought it was great because she's more alert and interested in looking around but felt bad because I wish I could be there to hold her.

We know she'll be home before we know it. We are in the final stages. Monday she has an MRI, Tuesday the camera down her throat, and a 12 hour test that will check her heart rate and oxygen levels. Carlos and I get to watch a few videos on car seats, CPR, and care. Finally, we will bring our car seat in and they will begin to sit her in it to get her ready for riding in it and to ensure she maintains her oxygen levels. And the day she leaves we will learn how to use the monitor she will come home on. This week we also will begin working with the kids on washing hands constantly and using hand sanitizer constantly. All of this will happen within the next few days.
