The tin man has left the building

Sorry we've kind of left you hanging for a day. Her fever broke Tuesday night and she had a restful night sleep. Her heart rate and breathing slowed down immensely. Myla went home on Wednesday afternoon, tin man in tow. Not a huge deal, we've been there before, but its a whole new ball game when little one is mobile. She wasted no time in pulling out all her toys when she got here and even took time to mess with the animals. The oxygen only impeded her movements once - when she wanted to get to the front door to look out. Even then, she just pulled it right off her face. John said it was pretty amazing, she didn't seem to disturb the grips, but there was the oxygen tubing on one end of the room, and there was Myla on the other.

Since we've been home, Myla has been actually taking naps and her appetite is almost back to normal. She's been sleeping well and even though we still have to clear her nose sometimes, she sounds much better. We had a check in with the doctor today where they did a room air challenge. She was at 96% when we checked in with the oxygen still on and was 94% when they checked her 30 minutes later with no oxygen. And so we are once again tubing free! Wahoo! The doctor thought she sounded good and was well on her way. So bring on back the 70 degree days - we are ready for the playground!
