Oops! Forgot to post yesterday–just another day in the hospital.
Got her last chest tube out yesterday morning. Another traumatic moment. Before it was taken out, the doctor asked her if she was ready to go home or if she wanted to stay in the hospital a while longer; she shrugged her shoulders. But after the chest tube removal, she kept saying that she wanted to go home TODAY! But we ended up having a good day after that. She fully enjoyed being able to roam unencumbered. She climbed in and out of bed by herself and followed me all over the place even helping me do our laundry in the laundry room which I thankfully discovered. The playroom was re-opened, so we spent some time in there.
Then last night we had a DANCE PARTY since Rachel could twirl without getting tangled in any tubes! We had popcorn and Sprite, watched a movie, and DANCED. We had a blast!

Headed HOME TODAY!!!

Suddenly, I feel like dancing, too!
But that’s a mental picture we can probably all do without. Better to picture Rachel dancing.
