The Hippo!
Today was a good day for Caitlyn. I talked about no strings attached and today all but one came off. The only one left is just to monitor her blood oxygen and heart rate both of which are doing ok. One of our past nurses, Jenn the Ripper we call her, came to help in removing some chest tube bandages … again …. They also removed the IV line in Caitlyn’s right foot. She had been scheduled for an EKG today, too, but that was canceled. Things progressed well today now we just have to touch wood and hope tomorrow to be the same. The weekend pediatrician also did not order any xrays tomorrow or Monday so things must be progressing as the doctors want.
Kolton and his family, from Taber came to visit today and he brought the coolest, cutest, softest hippo I’ve ever seen. Caitlyn couldn’t squeeze him enough (the hippo not Kolton). We had a good visit; Caitlyn stayed up longer than she has for a month. It was good to see. She was exhausted tonight and is in a nice deep sleep. I wonder which way we’ll be going tomorrow. I think up.
