End of a Glorious Day

As we get ready to head for such much overdue peaceful sleep Emma continues to do very well.
She is doing much better than she could have been and what they prepared us for. Her blood pressure medication is only half of what it was before surgery and her oxygen is almost back to the same level when she headed to surgery. She is on an antibiotic again as a precaution due to the chest tube she has in to help keep any extra air or fluid drained away so it doesn't put any pressure on her lung. She has flickered her eyes, moved her feet and arms and has held on tight to daddy's finger. So far she has not got too agitated which is good. She does need to give a good wet diaper though. They gave her some fluids to try and help her with this. God bless each and everyone of you for your thoughts and your prayers. God is great and through Him all things are possible. Well sweet dreams to our beautiful baby girl as she rests on the blankets that her big sister Cloey picked out for her. A blessed good night to all.
Here is a recent video of Emma. You can see the IV they had to place in her head, her chest tube, and her incision. You also can see how she now has more of a baby belly since her bowels have been moved to the right location.
