Thank you Easter Bunny! The many faces of Emmie....

deep thoughts
displeased with her care
Smiling
She's thinking we'll do for now
Sticking her tongue out

We are still in the ICU but Emmie is doing better. Her wound is healing though it's still day to day according to the surgeon. He does think it's getting better though. Dr. Finger thinks everything is going well. Her blood cultures and wound cultures are all sensitive to various antibiotics so that was great news. We will probably be in the hospital for at least one more week to complete the iv antibiotics. That's a little disappointing- we are certainly ready to take her home- but the folks in the PICU have been fabulous as always.

Nonie arrived Friday. She couldn't stand it any longer. She's been staying at night with us at the hospital and letting us get some sleep. Emmie can't possibly lay in her bed for more than 10 minutes (I know- spoiled) so Nonie holds her between feedings and that allows us to get some sleep. It's hard to put her little self down now that we can hold her. We are feeling much better mentally and physically- hopefully we won't wear Nonie out.

It's hard to believe Emmie will be 1 month old tomorrow. Happy 1 month Birthday my sweet girl! I hope your future birthdays are much more fun and not spent in the hospital! She is starting to focus on us and smile. It's the most precious thing I've ever seen. She's a tough little girl.
