Good News!

Paige is making great progress...Her wires and tubes are getting fewer and fewer. She is no longer intubated. She has a nasal canula to give her oxygen but it will be gone soon. Her sternum is wired and her chest is stitched closed. Jamie says it looks beautiful. She still has her PIC line for medication and a couple of other IV lines that will be gone soon. She's still really feisty. She's awake, looks around and looks at whoever is talking. Jaime and Keith both got to hold her today (Sunday) which was so awesome! She no longer has a feeding tube. Her next assignment is to continue learning to eat on her own. She's down to only one medication. She's doing great! Jamie looks wonderful. She is amazing...always such a good example of optimism, courage, and strength. Paige will be 1 week old on Monday. It's amazing what has happened in just a week!
