Tuesday???

Abby and Madison at Fritz's. Madison didn't quite figure out how to wear the conductor's hat!!

Outside enjoying the fountains.
Notice something missing on Abby's face in all the photos?? Yes, finally some pics of Abby and the missing tooth. She is so proud to have lost her first tooth!!



Well it looks like it will maybe be Tuesday when we go home. She still has staples in her neck. So that is pretty much the hold up now. She has an appt with her vent Dr. tomorrow so we can get that out of the way. The girls have now come and gone. I miss them already. They were so good and sweet. I really did not want them to go home. I took them shopping today. They wanted to buy swimsuits, so they each got a new swimsuit. We even picked one out for Bella so she can sit in the little kiddie pool with mommy. We went over to Crown Center yesterday evening and walked around. We also spent some time in the park over by the hospital. So it was a good trip. I think the girls had lots of fun. Bella is doing so good. She is breathing easy. She is off oxygen. She is just smiley and happy. She doesn't seem to have anymore pain. I think she is pretty much recovered from surgery. Like I said, she needs to get her staples out and she also needs to get out her central line. They should take out the central line tomorrow and then the staples will come out either tomorrow or on Tuesday morning. They are leaning towards Tuesday morning. Since the staples are in her neck and because she has trach ties, Dr. Lofland wants to make sure her neck is really really healed before they come out. We would not want that area busting open!! So other than having to wait a few more days, we are holding up great.
Here is a short but sweet video of Bella just being Bella. She has been going crazy with her kick-n-play, but everytime I try to catch her on tape she quicks kicking. I guess she is a little camera shy. I know however there are lots of you from home who miss her like crazy so here is a little glimpse of her. Notice how great she looks!!
