Hope did great overnight, taking all feedings PO (Per Os; Latin for "by mouth") and showing considerable clearing in the right lung on x-ray. She was on 1/4 liter O2 overnight and just before I got kicked out for rounds they had started to challenge her a bit by turning off the O2 and removing the nasal canula. Her O2 saturations were holding steady around 92% off the O2, where they had been 100% on the O2. But 92 ain't bad. The NG tube should come out later today. Her incision looks a bit red today, but her blood work should tell us if her body is starting to mount a defense against an infection or if its just irritated from getting rubbed by her gown and blankets.
I don't want to jinx anything, but -- well, I just don't want to jinx it. You can probably connect the dots and figure out where I might have been going. Hopefully, we'll see you soon!

Hey Guys!
I've been getting the updates online and I am so happy for the progress Hope has made. I am praying that she is strong enough to come home soon. I am sure Shane and Olivia are anxious for her to be home, as well as you too.
God Bless you all!
Love,
Jen
