Hangin' in there!

Miss Maggie continues to improve and will be home in no time! She is on a new ventilator that is more like normal breathing, and her oxygen is down to 37%. The nurses tell me they want to have her off of the ventilator within a week or so and then I will FINALLY get to hold her! She may have to bring the oxygen home with her, which is fine by me! Her lungs are still a little hazy in some spots but she is doing really good. This week has been so amazing, she's had such a huge turn around from where she was at and I couldn't be more pleased and thankful for all the prayers from friends and family and for the TLC from all of her amazing nurses. Last night they told me that she may be getting moved to a different room since she isn't really needing one on one care 24/7 from a nurse. She will most likely be sharing a nurse with another little one, maybe 2. She has been taken completely off of 2 heart meds and all of her other ones have been reduced significantly. I'm just hoping she will keep all of this progress up! They are letting her wake up a little at a time and last night was the first time I saw her alert and awake without the nurse worrying about it and without her blood pressure getting high. She was just looking around wondering when she gets to come home! It was great to see her wiggling and moving, but still comfortable. I'm so proud of her, she has had to deal with things already that very few adults have had to, she is so tough and I can't wait to bring her home and just hope she'll never have to go back there. I'm so thankful for all of the amazing and caring nurses and doctors at Primary Childrens and so thankful for my family and Codie's family for supporting us through all of this, I don't know what we would do without them!
