Check me O-U-T!




Finley's doing great. She's had a bit of trouble keeping her SATs up as high as they needed to be overnight (the oxygenation levels in her blood) and ran a fever as well. They just gave her a breathing treatment, hoping that this will loosen up some of the stuff in her chest so that she will breath a bit easier and get outta here! Everyone has been very kind and helpful - they brought a wagon this morning for us to take her for a little ride around the floor. Dr. Fearon came by first thing this morning, was a bit concerned about her breathing, so will come back around lunchtime to reassess and either discharge her or call in a pulmonary specialist to see her.

Andy took these photos with his Blackberry, so that we could get them online, so they are not the best quality, but it gives you a good idea of what she's going through.

Before they casted her in surgery yesterday, he took photos of her hands. I cannot wait for three weeks to go by so that I can see them again nor can I wait for her to see them and start to use them. Nothing short of amazing. Her right (the one with one more release this time around) looks like a normal little hand. Very, very exciting.......
