A Peaceful Day

Today was a great day for our girl. Her head has not grown since the little growth spurt it had the other night. They did a spinal tap today to try and relieve some fluid and pressure off of her brain. They did not get a lot of fluid so they are hoping that means the pressure isn't too bad up there.
I spoke to this weekend's cardiologist and was told that her heart is very stable at the moment. He believes that we have plenty of time to correct the heart problem down the road when she is much bigger.
People who have not seen her for awhile are shocked by the change in her. Honestly, earlier in the week she looked awful. She had this terrible gray color to her. Now she looks nice and pink. She is getting good circulation to her little body and they are very impressed by that.
They had thought of removing her breathing tube today but decided against it. She is basically breathing on her own at this point with the ventilator only supporting her. But she has a surgery coming up so it wouldn't make much sense to take her tube out and have to put it back in again. I guess we will see on Monday what they decide!

Hoping these good days last! Keep praying!
