time to get on "the floor"

so today was the day! only 8 days post-op we were moved up to "the floor". We had hear a bunch of different time lines of when hlhs kids usually go up there and the shortest time frame we had heard was 10 days. and we beat that! Little miss is doing so amazing! And I know I say it time and time again but I know that it is a result of so much faith, prayers and fasting on behalf of darla jane from so many of you who care about and love her. thank you.
Here is a picture of them moving darla jane out of the cicu. And hoping we won't be back until she is strong and healthy and ready for her second surgery.time to get settled in our new room on "the floor".darla jane, wide awake, checking out her new digs. I'm sure she was excited about the window, through which we can see the mountains!As of this evening she was up to 12ccs an hour so by the middle of the day tomorrow she will be up to the 15 which will put her at full feeds. Then they will try to switch her nj feeding tube to ng. Not her tube goes past the stomach and straight into the digestive tract. When they move it, the test will be to see if her stomach can tolerate any milk in there.Needless to say, we are very happy about how the day went today. :)
