Emma Will Not Go to Kindergarten With a Chest Tube

Emma's chest tube finally got removed this morning. She is doing okay with her feedings. She still needs to poop. If she doesn't do this by later today then then will give her a suppository to help. So, GO EMMA GO! They turned her fentanyl down some more. She did get a single dose of fentanyl before they took the chest tube out. She does still have some tremors. They said they would continue to monitor her closely for withdrawal. The video show her sucking on her mimi. She won't take it for mommy yet. But, it is good to see her sucking since they said she could have lots of problems with sucking since she would associate having things in her mouth with bad things. They said they would let Emma rest today and not do any more major changes today. If she has a good day and night they will let mommy and daddy hold her tomorrow. Pray that all goes well and she is in our arms tomorrow.
