Still Hanging Out at the Hospital

Yesterday morning Lynnea was moved out of the PICU to the general floor. Yesterday afternoon she had another lung profusion scan, for which she needed to be put on the ventilator and sedated. After extubation she was having a little bit of extra work breathing, so they decided to watch her in the PICU overnight (I'm just happy that all they did was observe...at one point an overzealous resident was trying to put her on high-flow oxygen, which she clearly didn't need). Now they are going to move us out to the floor and watch her for another day because, even though her breathing improved overnight, she's still working harder than she normally does, so they want to watch her for one more day before sending us home. We still don't have a surgery date, but I don't really expect to get a date until after we're discharged.
