She's doing great! She still requires some help with her lungs, i.e. a small amount of extra oxygen, but besides that, she's very comfortable. In the last 2 days, I've started breastfeeding her every second feed, and she gets tube fed the other feeds. She's managing really well, though she gets very tired from time to time. We're working it up slowly, taking into account that she still has a compromised lung and she's recovering from major surgery. Considering everything though, she's very comfortable and her wound is healing really well. She's even started smiling!
Tomorrow we have an appointment with the Orthapedic team who are going to make a plan to start helping Ashling to move her limbs more. It's all happening!
Getting home for Christmas is getting more likely every day! Yipee!
Hi Car & Ger,
