Happy Birthday Ashlyn!

Today we had a birthday party for Ashlyn in the family lounge at the hospital. She enjoyed playing with her balloons, eating pizza and cake, and getting to play in the playroom. She was very excited about many of the gifts she got, but especially liked her Jack-in-the-Box. Unfortunately, we were not able to have her blow out candles on her birthday cake because it would have set off the fire alarms.

Lynnea also had a good day; tomorrow she should be completely weened off from her IV drips, so all of her medications will be given through her G-tube. The Speech Therapist continued working with her on drinking from a bottle, and today she managed to take a little without dropping her blood-oxygen saturation levels, which is exciting.
