We're Making Progress & Keeping Expectations in Check

Well, things are looking up. After a full 5 hours of uninterrupted rest last night (sometimes politely complaining works) Harper is looking a little better this morning. Still not 100%, but moving in the right direction.

She ate most of a McDonalds Strawberry & Cream pie and a little pizza last night. We also "persuaded" her to drink the majority of an Ensure shake (mixed with chocolate ice cream) overnight. And this morning? Her albumin levels from her morning blood draw/labs are up. Unfortunately not to normal levels, but better. We're making progress.

They weighed her this morning, and she has lost a little more than a kg since yesterday. That's mostly fluids. She's still a little puffy, around her ankles, but we're down more than 2kg in 2 days. We're making progress.

She also slept all last night with no oxygen level issues without using any supplemental oxygen. Her breathing exercises seem to be helping. We're making progress.

All those are good signs. But, we're still not out of the woods. The doctors could continue to hold her. That's what happened yesterday - we were so looking forward to going home, but all that didn't work out very well...

So, we're making progress, but keeping expectations in check.
