Day 3 update

We are waiting to see about Abby's lung xray to see if this tube can come out. If they do that, they will take all the tape off of her chest and check out the wound as well. They turned off the oxygen in her nose for a bit and she wasn't doing perfect just yet so it's back on... Just lowered a bit. After some conversation, even if they remove the tube, we won't go home today. Grant and I agree that we need some more time here - and it isn't because of the awesome hospital food!! We have held off holding her a lot because of her drainage tube but we were told today that moving her around and making her a bit uncomfortable is the equivalent of an adult being asked to walk around after surgery. She needs to do it. So I'm holding her as I write this--she is stil pretty drowzy from the 4am codeine dose. More soon...
