Back in 5A

Lynnea was moved out of the ICU this morning, back into "our" room on the 5A wing (they were nice enough to save it for us, so that we wouldn't have to move all of our belongings). She was awake and alert for quite a while today, and the surgeons gave her the OK to start eating again. She has been doing well with her feedings -- we've started out slowly with small amounts, but she has almost worked her way back up to the volume that the doctors want her to eat in the long run. So far, she's been taking all of her food orally, so we haven't actually had to use her G-tube yet. (Go figure -- we had to put the G-tube in because she wouldn't eat enough orally, and now she wants to eat!) She has not thrown up at all since we started feeding her again, which is very good news. If things continue to go well, I am guessing that we could be home in a few days, but we haven't gotten any official word from the doctors yet on when they will send us home.
