Sophia did very very well overnight. As with surgery the first 24 hours after having the vent removed is the most critical. Overnight she leveled out and really started to enjoy life with out the vent. Her Blood Gas test this morning was perfect and with that she also got to be held again.
Overall she had a really good day and good evening today as well. One thing that did occur today was that her NJ line moved. It was discovered immediately and was pushed back in. The tube is still at the edge of her intestine and is still working fine but it is not where is was originally placed. She has earned herself a baby sitter who sits at her bedside when a nurse or I are not there to watch and make sure that she doesn't pull that tube out. If it were to come out more she would just have to take a field trip downstairs to have it placed again.
Today Sophia got to see her big Brother Liam again. He came up with Maw Maw and spent about a half an hour at her bedside. He did so well again and the Nurses were really impressed with how he acted. It is not the easiest place for adults to sit let alone a 2 and 1/2 year old. You could really see his concern for his sister and we explained that it was ok and that she was working to get better so she could go home and live with him.
The day ended with Sophia getting a bath. She was really content through the whole thing and she really loves when she gets her hair washed and massaged. You may also notice that she is now getting to wear clothes. Her first outfit was put on her this morning and we put a fresh outfit on her after her bath.
