notice now she just has a little bandaid on her chest!
They Drs and nurses were able to keep Darla Jane fairly stable after the closure of her chest yesterday. A bit of medicated intervention to balance things out, which is normal but this morning when I got there she was going great. There is even talk of working on weening her off of the ventilator. Darla Jane decided she needed to cause a little trouble and thought she'd work on removing some of her tubes herself. she knows she doesn't need them. So now she gets to sport some pink mittens so that she isn't able to pull anything out. And if that wasn't enough trouble she is now being taken downstairs to try and place her NJ (feeding) tube in under xray because the 2 previous times they tried to place it the tube wouldn't go in the right way. So the nurses and respiratory specialists had to pack up Darla Jane and all of her business and take her on a walk. But if that's the kids of trouble she likes to cause, I'll take it over issues with keeping herself stable.
It takes the crew to move Darla Jane and all of her attachments though.

Melanie told me about your little Darla Jane. We wish her the very best. What a challenge to have to go through, but these challenges make for stronger families! Amazing what modern medicine can do for these little ones. We'll be following Darla Jane's progress.
