The End of a Good Day

Jason and I just got done visiting with Emma for the day.  She had a great day today and we are continued to be amazed by the progress she is making.  She has her own personality and will let the doctors and nurses know when she doesn't like the changes that have been made.  Jason and I were able to spend a lot of time back with her today and it is nice when she wakes up for us.  We don't like her to wake up too often because sometimes she gets worked up when she is awake.  It looks as if they will take her off the one ventilator tomorrow morning and then the surgeons will discuss taking the chest tube out.  If that is the case Jason and I could be snuggling with our baby girl tomorrow.  They may have a hard time getting rid of us if that is the case.  We have both been waiting to hold our baby girl and know it will be a very emotional time for both of us when that chance occurs.  We told her to be a good and strong girl over the night and work on weaning her ventilator.  Jason and I both changed a diaper today and Jason managed to change one when she as laying on her belly and it was a poopy one.  Daddy has got quite a talent.  We got an amazing blessing from our dear friends at Natural Bridge today.  It is a blessing that will help us work through this time.  I work with an amazing group of people and am thankful for the support that they have provided and continue to provide during this time.  Continue your prayers and pray that she is able to switch to the other ventilator and get her chest tube out tomorrow.  Thank you to everyone for everything - words will never explain how everyone has helped us through this in their own special way.
