We are the Luckiest Parents!!

Payton had a very good night post surgery. We can't help but feel incredibly lucky to have such a little fighter on our hands and a CDH situation that has seen more good moments than bad.

Our nurses this morning even commented on how well she's done considering her situation.

They have mentioned that if things continue on the same trend they may start feeding her real breastmilk as early as tomorrow.

For now, we simply are focusing on now and how lucky we are.

Its worth noting of course that as much as Payton has amazed us all, her medical staff has also been incredibly amazing and we have so much to be thankful for. Both their ability and their compassion and care for Payton and us as we progress.

Such wonderful news. She really is a little fighter and I can't help but believe her big brother angels have really been watching over her.
Please give her a big kiss for me.
Lots of love Grandma Helen

Fantastic news. Then again, knowing the indomitable fighting spirit of her mama, I am in no way surprised.
