Walking, talking and now pooping.....

Today has been another pretty good day. We are still having some trouble getting Sydney off of her O2....so that may be what keeps her in the hospital.

Poor thing, started off the morning puking again. Syd was so constipated...her tummy was so big, hard and distended. I am sure constipation is what caused the vomiting (along with hating her lasix). I prayed for poop (which is a new one for me!!), and it finally came, several times in fact. Once her tummy felt better, she started to eat and drink better too. "My tummy better, Mama".

So, here are the things that need to be accomplished before we go home:

Poop---check
eating---at least better--check
walking---check, almost ran when she heard best friend Claire was here to visit.
Drinking---check, much better
Off o2--not yet
Fluid improvement in the lungs--getting better

Sydney is taking aspirin again, blood pressure meds, O2, miralax, lasix and Tylenol. She really looks great. So please continue to keep her in your prayers for continued improvement.

We had some wonderful visitors within the last few days...which has really lifted all of our spirits. The biggest deal to Sydney, was seeing her "Carebear" (Claire her best friend). Sydney just started walking today, and had been so weak and cautious. When Sydney heard Claire was here, she threw caution into the wind, and tired to run to see "Carebear".

I am so so very tired, and I am leaving out so much, but I cannot make it anymore.

Goodnight and thanks for the prayers and support.

Christy
