Moving On Up

...to the fourth floor! Sigrid's out of the ICU!

When I walked into her room last night after my stint at home, it seemed like she looked a little different -- it took me a minute to realize that was because she didn't have anything on her face! They'd taken her cannula out, and she was breathing room air again (and a lot happier for it). She's been off oxygen since then, and has only required one breathing treatment (epinephrine at 5 AM), so our doctor says she's on track to go home tomorrow. Yay!!!!

Sadly, we're back to sharing a room. I'd figured we 'd be shoo-ins for another single, what with the whole contagion issue, but apparently they're not concerned about that. Oh well. It's not so bad in and of itself, but there's no window on our side of the room, so it's a little... dark.

Well, I should go make sure she's sleeping and not forcing her nurse to be on paci duty. As always, thanks for all the good wishes.
