Please two night in a row!!

I am so ecstatic to report that Ry slept for 10 hours last night! Yes, ten hours, this is not a typo. She was given a new sleep aid/ anti-psychotic drug. This sounds scary, but loss of sleep is taken very seriously around here (especially when it's been a week and a half with no sleep). No sleep can lead to some pretty serious problems. I'm just so thankful we've found something that works and I hope it will get her through this rough patch until she can adjust. Actually, I hope I'm not getting ahead of myself, just because it worked last night may not mean it will work tonight, but I'm hopeful.
Unfortunately, Ry battle more discomfort today, but it was much better than on Friday. Her chest tube was removed this morning and her chest Xray still seemed clear. We'll get another Xray bright and early and are hoping for no fluid build up.
Although Rylynn wasn't thrilled to get out of the room today, we did take her for a stroller ride to see the trains, butterflies, and fish. Sometimes she's reluctant to go, but we know it's important to push her a little.
I am still extremely worried about the canula sites. We have swabbed for infection and there is none present, but both sites are very irritated to say the least. Today was the first day that Ry felt the pain of the dressing change, through her morphin. It broke my heart. I hope they continue to heal, as I know that has to be a constant cause of discomfort for her.
Tomorrow we're hoping for a little play time and more activity out of her bed. Today she sat with Daddy in the chair which was great! It's the first time Gilly has been able to hold her in weeks. We're so glad he's going to be here with us all day tomorrow too.
Tonight please pray for healing of Ry's canula sites, another great night sleep and that special Angel heart.
Good night to all!
