Sara's MRI is set for Friday, they changed it. No surprise there!

The last couple days there really hasn't been much change. Sara's been happy for the most part, playing with toys & smiling. She will go for her MRI tomorrow. If that goes well we should be able to leave on Friday! Today she's off oxygen and her feeding tube came out. It's nice to see her doing well, Praise God! Thanks for praying!

Today Sara was very irritated anytime she was awake. So they gave her morphine for pain, and she was herself for the first time since before the surgery! She was laughing and giggling for Hailey! It was so fun to see her so happy full of smiles. We had a great day there with her, and are looking forward to getting out as early as next week. Its very exciting news. As long as Sara eats well and gains weight there should be no reason to keep us! Cross your fingers! hehehe

Yesterday Sara went up to the floor! She's now in a semi-private room on the 4th floor. It's so good to see her up there and spend time with her. Today they're going to start bottling, hopefully she'll start eating well and gaining. Then she'll be able to go home hopefully! It's a big change from the PICU, and we're glad to see her doing well. The highlight of my day was holding her for the first time since before her surgery!

Yesterday Sara was flashing her eyes at the nurse, and we missed it! Today she is doing much better, we were there to see her awake! She is starting to try to move around and pull on things. It's great to see start to be her normal self, she's such a sweetie. She's doing so well that they're talking about moving us to the floor in a couple days! Praise the Lord!

Yay! At 5:30pm Sara had the breathing tube taken out. The real struggle is to keep all the pressures in her heart & pulmonary artery stable. Hopefully she'll keep on doing well, and not have to go back on it. It's a pretty big step to have her off the ventilator. She's still swollen and can't open her eyes but there's a lot less tape, we're so happy to see her face!
We went to Fort Edmonton Park today. It was a first for Hailey and I. We enjoyed it so much it was great to get out of the hospital for a couple hours and explore all they have set up there. I'll post some pictures when I have a chance.

Sara is having her chest closed today. If everything goes well with the surgery Sara will be on her way to recovery, wait & see as always. We're going to see her after they're finished.
We had a great morning at the Evangelical Fellowship church, and then met up with Joel's Auntie Linda & Uncle Myrl at the hospital. Later we're going to visit with Todd & Anita at the Germann's place. We're Looking forward to seeing them.
We're so thankful for everyone who is praying for Sara, we're feeling at peace about it all. It can only be from God!

Today has been good. Sara is doing ok, but still very swollen. Hopefully she'll be less swollen tomorrow and have her chest closed. Sara is going off the paralizer to keep her still. They're still sedating her because she's still moving around a lot.
It's slow at the hospital, Hailey doesn't last long. We've got some movies here for her tonight and she'll love going to Sunday school tomorrow, even if it's at a new place. We're going to try a church near here tomorrow, it's only 2 blocks away!
