We are waiting for news on a bed upstairs for Rebekah! :) This means she will be going to the step-down unit, which is one step closer to going home. We are currently waiting on a bed to be available upstairs, and then we should be moving. Hopefully by lunch time! The only little catch in the plan is that Rebekah's temperature keeps climbing, and that could keep her in the PCICU if it gets higher. She had Tylenol around 9:45 this morning, so hopefully it will come down some.
Rebekah is still getting chest PT to try to open her left lung back up. This morning's x-ray showed the left lung about the same and a little more haziness (junk) in her right lung than was there yesterday. We are hoping that once we get upstairs and she feels like moving around a little more that she will be able to cough some of that up. We will continue the chest PT upstairs on the floor.
Daddy has been able to hold his little girl a few times now. He was able to hold her last night for quite a while and again this morning. Rebekah has been so relaxed when she is in her daddy's lap. It's good therapy for both of them! :)
Hopefully our next post will be from upstairs..... We'll see how the day progresses!
