Working towards getting rid of tubes

Dr Lund was very happy with Celina today. The swelling goes down more and more. She just still has a lot of bruising on her right side. The pain meds were changed to oral meds and when she is drinking enough they are taking the CVP line out of her neck. I am hoping for Friday. Tomorrow doctor will look at the cuts and see if they can maybe leave the dressings off. It all depends on how they have healed. If they are ok the catheter will come out and we start with nappies.
Dr Lund says the estimated time for discharge is the 2.January. That means one more week.
Well, I will go home tomorrow to cook some meals for Celina and we will start and try feeding more orally. She had 2 light meals today. Its a start. And the water intake is getting better too.
We are making steps forward. We still need to get rid of the feedingtube too. And she is also more awake now.

With the help of our very capable physio Danielle, we turned Celina slightly on her side. Just about 5 cm of the bed. She did not even pull her face. Until now we had no sign of pain at all. Besides maybe the two times when she coughed. Otherwise she is just amazingly pain free. And guess what we had a great giggle from her.
She is just so amazing. So brave, so strong. Our tough cookie.

Thank You Lord for carrying and leading us on this journey. Thank You for keeping Celina pain free and that she is recovering so amazingly.

Thank You for being Lord of our lives.
