A good day all around

Today was a good day all around. Myla continues to do well and they have tweaked her oxygen down to the 40s - most of the time. (She still doesn't like being moved a lot, so it goes up when they do that.) Her feedings have gone up to where they are giving her 10 milliliters every 4 hours. And its coming out the other end, which may not sound very pleasant but its a VERY good thing. Tonight, mom got to hold her for two whole hours! She was doing so well that the nurse just let her stay.

Mom went to the doctor today and everything is healing up nicely. In fact, they are now letting her drive - not all the time, mind you, she still has to get her rest. But she can go to the hospital at care times and any other time she wants! And tonight, she got to hold Myla for two whole hours! (Did I already mention that?)

Dad got a very exciting phone call today too. Seems that they have so much confidence in him, that after a few other interviews, some crossed fingers and a little bit of fairy dust, he will be named loss prevention MANAGER at the new store. His very own store. Manager John. It should be official by next week.

Part of us is constantly bracing for the inevitable "bump" in the road, but we are also very thankful for days like today. Here's hoping for a great tomorrow!
