Lydia hospital day 46

One positive side of Lydia's being ill is that yesterday when I was at the ICU with her, she was willing to sit on my lap and let me cuddle her for half an hour, rather than getting down after 15 seconds in search of a new book or game.

Overall she looks great, eating, drinking, signing, playing. Still on oxygen but breathing on her own. Her lungs are still not fully expanded on her chest X-ray, so tonight they're going to try having her sleep with CPAP. If that expands her lungs better, they'll probably leave her on that for a while. If not, they'll probably just leave her breathing on her own around the clock. Either way she will probably be moving out to the floor sometime this week, and then home after that.
