8 Months Old

Lynnea is eight months old now. She had a pretty good day today. She was in a better mood than yesterday, so I'm guessing she's feeling a little bit better. This morning they pulled out her chest tube, and removed her A-line, and her IJ (the line in her neck through her jugular vein), so all she has now is one peripheral IV in her hand (which we're really hoping doesn't go bad before Thursday). She moved out of the PICU back over to 5A this afternoon, and she seems happy to be back (we're in the same room that we've been staying in for the past two weeks, so it probably feels pretty familiar to her). She had another echocardiogram today, but I haven't heard any results from that. She has a CT Scan scheduled for Thursday (which will require and IV, which is why we hope the one she has lasts that long), so we will be in the hospital at least until then. She is still on a tiny bit of oxygen support, but hopefully she won't need that for much longer.
