Day 14 Post-Transplant

What an amazing day!

I arrived at the hospital at 0700 because Rowan was going to be extubated in the "morning." While she did not get extubated in the morning, she did this afternoon at 4pm!
I was anticipating that waiting all day would be horrible for her, but she never was upset. What can I say? The child loves methadone:) and Ativan too. It works! After an entire week of misery, they started these wonderful drugs and she has been so peaceful ever since!




She was sucking on her thumb- just waiting patiently to have that tube removed.




Still waiting...




And finally- it's out!
This was the first time to hold her in over two weeks. What a great moment. We both felt such relief.

Tonight Chance will be driving in from a long day at work. We are so fortunate to stay at Ronald McDonald tonight.... sometimes you don't always get a room. It will make me feel so much more comfortable to be close by!
