little things

At first glance of Lucy at the end of the day you might think she hasn't made much progress. A little discouraged myself I asked the nurse the same question about an hour ago. Boy was I was wrong. Even though no tubes came out she's dropped a med here, added another there and all those numbers on the machines are changing... 
She started the day at 100% oxygen infusion and is now down to 65% (our natural air is 21%) so she's making progress and moving towards breathing more on her own. I think the catheter might come out pretty soon too...whoever thought we would be excited about changing diapers :)
She tolerates being touched much better than she did yesterday and it's the little things like putting on her own socks that make us feel like we're getting somewhere. 
Keep those lil' piggies warm and we'll see what tomorrow holds. 
"Be still before the Lord, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling." Zechariah 2:13
