No more hoses!!!

She wasn't very happy about it, but she got the last 2 drain tubes out and they pulled out the jumper cables today as well. The jumper cables were just in case she had any heart arrhythmias they could connect her to a pacemaker or jumpstart her heart if it stopped.
Don't need any of that anymore!!!

After that it's easy to be the good guy. She's even starting to like her Dad to hold her.

Now they are just trying to remember why she is still in the PICU. They may even send us up to "the floor" today. But most likely it will be tomorrow.

I read a good quote today in the book "Before My Heart Stops" (you know it’s a good one if first of all I'm still reading it and second that I'm quoting from it) from John F Kennedy, "The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by obvious realities. We need men and women who can dream of things that never were,". I must say thank you to all the dreamers, the doctors and nurses that have given us this new chance at life with Darla Jane and especially all of you dreamers that have been supporting us in so many ways. In that way I say Keep Dreaming!

  1. Darla Jane.... You are amazing! She is doing awesome. We are so excited for her progress! The doctors and nurses always thought Peyton looked more pink then blue as well. And we have made great progress so we are hoping the same applies to Darla Jane! We will be driving through Salt Lake on Saturday and would love to stop by if you're still up there. I'll send you an email in a few days as it gets closer!
