And now, for some photos:
- Myla getting wheeled out for her surgery and Raul Matthew eagerly awaiting her return.
- Myla after her surgery.
- Myla today after getting her ventilator tube taken out!
- The picture of Myla I placed above her bed to remind the medical staff who they are dealing with.
- Doctors checking on Myla tonight (1 & 2).
- Raul Matthew "helping" the echocardiogram technician enter data.
- The bear that Hannah and Jared (shown with Melissa) brought for Myla.
- A visit on Saturday from "Uncle Mike."
- Thanks to Stacy for the passes to the Indianapolis Zoo. I took Raul Matthew there on Sunday to get him out of the insanity of the hospital environment, and he got out his energy in the butterfly display at the White River State Park conservatory. Memorable animals included a lion, lioness, zebra, dolphins, blue butterfly, orange butterfly, rhinos, emu, rabbit, and an ear. Let's make that 2 ears.
Thanks again to all of you for your continued prayers and support. Melissa and I see God's hand in the events of the last few days. If you think about it, had Myla not run such a high fever, they would not have taken the chest x-ray that revealed the imminent danger posed by her old central line.
There is talk of Myla leaving the ICU within the next couple of days. Of course, that's just talk, but it's good-sounding talk to us. Myla's primary doctor was elated at Myla's condition today. Seeing her excitement was encouraging to us.
11:02 PM: Right before Raul Matthew and I left for the Ronald McDonald House, Myla opened her eyes and looked around the room in earnest for the first time. She also responded to Raul Matthew's voice as he said goodnight to her. I'm hoping to capture a smile from her tomorrow. :)
