LiLi is out of the hospital

LiLi got discharged this morning. She did really well yesterday considering all she's been through and not being able to see.  She got a little frustrated a couple times, but other than that she was fine.  She's been sleeping a lot which is good.  She still loves riding in the wagon.

The day  nurse we had in the PICU was awesome.  She had a poster made for LiLi's birthday and the Child Life Specialist bought her some gifts.  It was so nice.  LiLi liked opening the presents even though she couldn't really see them.  We got moved to the regular floor around 9 last night.  She slept really well.  I was hoping she could see today, but her eyes are still swollen shut.  The Dr. said she should start being able to see later today or tomorrow.

Neurosurgeon - Dr. Sacco

Craniofacial surgeon - Dr. Fearon

We know we made the right decision on surgeons.  We really loved both of them.  They took great care of our daughter and we could tell that they both really cared about her.  They are both very experienced and highly skilled.   We are so glad we made the decision to come to Dallas and we know through all your prayers, God provided the way for us to get through all the hurdles.  

We changed our flights to come back tomorrow instead of Friday.  We all are ready to get home and the surgeon said she would be fine to fly.  It will be great to get back.  I know the boys will be glad to see their sister.  My mom said the first thing the asked when they got out of school on Monday was about their sister's surgery and wondering if she was o.k.

Thank you all for your prayers!!!  They have definitely been felt.  We appreciate all the support we've gotten from everyone.
