10-3-10 ~ First time Elizabeth got to be held since her trach surgery on Sept 8th. A great day for Elizabeth!! She did not throw up today. She finished her last dose of vandomyicn (antibiotic) so she no longer gets anything by IV(PICC). They will leave he PICC line in until closer to time to go home just in case she needs IV Meds again. She is still on CPAP mode on the ventilator and doing well with it. She was very happy and playful all day, she didnt want to sleep much afraid she might miss something. AND I finally got to hold her again! I havent been able to hold her since her surgery for the trach on Sept 8th. She seemed pretty happy about it, (I posted the picture on here). Every conversation the Dr/nurses have with us now involves the word HOME so we are getting close. We will meet tomorrow and decide on when we will try getting her on the home vent to see how she does. As we get closer to going home, I get more nervous and worried about caring for her. But hopefully with time we will get into a routine and it will seem easy.
