I was trying to think of a title for this post, and for a while, the only thing that came to mind was "Continuing to Improve". That is not really the case since she did not take a dive after surgery, but, Amelia continues to get better. Yesterday evening, the chest tube was removed and we are back to only the PICC line (which we came to the hospital with from the infection 6 weeks ago). Kim had a chance to hold Amelia for a few hours yesterday, which was a little hard because she is still in some pain from the surgery. She had a good night, eating well and was not too fussy.
This morning was a little harder. The pharmacy was a little slow delivering pain meds, so she was a little unhappy until we could give her the medicine. Once administered, she calmed down and has been doing well this afternoon. She is still on oxygen and we are hoping she will be off before bed time this evening. We are not sure when we might be headed home yet. We still have a few things to work on.
Amelia, Kim and Brian
