This is her room in the ICU. It is the loudest room ever, full of beeps and alarms and motors running. It’s no wonder she can’t sleep!

This is what she looked like yesterday, before most of her tubes came out. Almost none of that stuff is there anymore. The long bandage is her scar, which we haven’t gotten to see yet.

I got to hold her a lot last night and she was SO happy. And she’s on juice now and ate some yogurt. She’s watching cartoons and wants to be sitting up. I think today is going to be a very good day. I may even speculate that we might get moved to a less intensive care floor for today and may possibly go home tomorrow. But that’s just a guess if things continue to go well.
Her kidney function is doing well now and the cardiologist came in last night and told us he thinks she does NOT have a collapsed lung, he thinks it was a bad x-ray. They took another one this morning and we’ll know more in a few hours. I got to see her X-ray and saw how gigantic her heart is. I was astonished. She needed this surgery much more badly than I even thought. We got to listen to her heart and there’s no more whooshing sound. Just a normal heartbeat now! What ever will I blog about?
