The Floor

We are so BLESSED!

Daddy and his girl

I was so excited to finally hold her!

My tired little girl watching her Baby Praise

Today started off with great news. Jacob and I got up early to get to Paislyn's room so we could hear what the Doctor's had to say about her today. They came to her bedside and said once again how awesome she looked. They said they were going to remove her chest tubes, catheter, and arterial line today. They also said we could begin to feed her and at the end of his sentence he said she will be going to 5 East today. Jake and I just looked at each other..... I said, " We are going to the Peds floor today?" The doctor said, "yes you are." I was amazed. I then began to get nervous, because peds floor is a lot different than ICU. Yes, it is another step closer to home, but we are only 2 days post operation. The nurse looked at me and said, "Aubrey they would never send her out there if they didn't think she was ready!" Well, we are here now and she is doing great. She is very very sleepy today since she had all those tubes removed, but she is doing good. She is sleeping a lot and watching her Baby Praise in between her LONG naps. She looks kinda rough today. She has red marks all over her from tape removed, and she beat her face up a little with her IV trying to get her nose cannula out. I just can't get over how well she is doing though. It feels so good to be able to say all the wonderful things I have about her. She is such a miracle and we are so thankful. We have met lots of awesome families while we have been here! We have gotten especially close with the Troupes! There son Matthew is 10 years old and has Charge Syndrome. Please pray for continued healing for him and his family.His parents are amazing people and we have loved to get to know them. Matthew has a blog called http://lessonsfrommatthew.com/. It is so incredible! God has brought our two families together this time for a reason! We were right beside them in the ICU, and we requested to be roommates in Peds, and guess what ..... WE ARE! It makes the stay a little better knowing you have another awesome family to go through it with you. We have been so blessed by what God has done during this trip to Michigan! He is here in a big way! Paislyn is starting to wake up a little more tonight and eat. She looks a lot less tired and hopefully she will get the rest she needs. Thank you all for your prayers! We love you all!
