Odds and Sods

1st a quick update on Payton today. Her skin surrounding her MicKey is looking red and inflamed.  The surgeon doesn't believe its infected (since they almost never get infected) but it is sore and inflammed and they will keep an eye on it and work to keep it dry. 

They have clamped off Payton's drainage tube to see how she tolerates the excess fluid in her stomach - I'll try to update later when we know how she's doing.

There was also a bit of a ray of sunshine.  They are now saying its possible that she could be home in 1.5-2 weeks.  They'll start organizing things we'll need to care for her at home so that we can be good and ready when she is.

In the meantime here are some photos from over the weekend.
Here's what Payton's new scar is looking like.  It looks amazing to how it looked 10 days ago.


A new cuddle position (for the day since Monday we were back on our backs)

The other precious little one after a busy day in the hospital and a special treat from Dad, her two current favourite cartoon characters, Ruby and Max (aside from the Cat in the Hat).

The play room mural - thanks to the VanBibber clan (and Grandma Val) for giving it a fantastic start.  Still needs some work.
