Last night was uneventful--phew! I think I slept more last night than I have the three nights prior. I'm getting used to the beeps and buzzes in the PICU, strangely enough.
Zoe continues to do well under sedation. Her face is starting to look a little less swollen; I can just see some inklings of cheek contour.
Her CT scan this morning showed her brain unchanged. She still had the same place of hypodensity in the right frontal region, but, as it did not look any worse, neurosurgery was pleased.
Today her scalp drain was pulled out and they have started to wean her off of morphine. They have also adjusted the ventilator so that she is required to do more of her own breathing.
The plan is that they will take her in for another CT scan tomorrow morning to determined if it is safe to extubate her and bring her out of sedation.
Boy, do we hope so! It's been too long of a time not being able to hold our baby.

Your arms must be aching. I hope tomorrow goes well and you are snuggling soon...
I try and try, but I truly can't imagine. I'm thinking about you constantly and wishing your baby good health. You have handled this with more grace than I would have thought possible. I love the picture of Zoe and Mommy - so sweet!
I'm glad things are going well. So many people think of you all and sending their love. Don't forget to call or email or text if you need anything, the Potpies will bring it.
