One Step Closer to Going Home

Today we moved to a regular floor and out of ICU!!!! We are so excited! Now we can all stay in Hannah's room and not have to sleep or shower in different places every night. We don't have to wonder each day if we will get a hospital sleep room that night, or have to sleep in the waiting room. Hannah's new room on the 6th floor has a couch/bed and private bathroom/shower for us.

There were no major changes in Hannah's health today. Our next goal is to get her to eat by bottle. She hasn't been bottle fed since the night before the surgery. All her nutrition has come through iv's and a feeding tube. We tried a few times today, but so far she hasn't been interested. We will keep trying. Before she can be discharged she will have to eat by mouth, and will have to be off several of the medications she is currently receiving. The doctors are slowly weening her of the medications already. We think and hope the worst is behind us now.

Thanks to all who stopped by today! Mamaw, Papaw, Grandaddy, Aunt Shannon, Chris and Regena, and Tommy Whitehead
