Lyla Update

The last couple of days have been good! Today she's had quite a few tubes and wires taken out. She had the ventilator removed yesterday and did great. Today she had two chest drains removed and an iv taken out of her foot. She's now off the sedation meds but she's still very sleepy and not wanting to wake up for long. She's eating an ounce or two every once in a while but she has to have fluids through her iv to help her metabolic gases improve. I can't thank our family enough for helping and watching the kids so we can be with Lyla! We appreciate it and all the trips up to visit her and give her luvs! We really feel so blessed that she's recovering and doing so well! Can't wait until we can hold her in the next day or two!

Thanks to the cousins for all the cute signs and pictures to hang up in her bed!




She got to sit up for just a minute. They want her to cough and clear her throat and lungs a little but it really hurts so it's been hard to get her to!
