Libby GOOD News

We have had a GREAT day!!!!! Libby has been laughing, smiling and being silly. She even licked me when she was standing up this morning, and did her other silly things! It has brought TREMENDOUS joy to my heart. In addition, she has been awake all day, which is a good sign that she is feeling better. She has been out of bed 3 times today, and even walked around her room with her physical therapist. One chest tube had to be removed because it was literally falling out. She didn't really need it anyway, so she is down to only 4!! She was such a champ while he sewed the hole back up (with some morphine and lidocaine). She looked up at me and said "Is he all done?" I said "I don't know. Ask him." So she turned to the doctor and said "Are you done?" It was very cute!! The surgeon filling in for Dr Fraser (he is out of town all week) plans to pull out 2 more tubes tomorrow and maybe get her stitches out too. The kidney doctors came by, and basically aren't very worried about her kidneys. They came up with a plan that will hopefully continue us on the path of recovery. We are rejoicing here in Houston for a great day!!

Love, Gracie
