Movin' On Up

We were finally moved out of the PICU to our own room on the general pediatric floor. The room decor may be straight out of the 70's, but the view of the Golden Gate Bridge and Mt. Tam make up for it. Even better, our whole family can sleep in the same room for the first time since before the surgery.

Today they also removed every wire and tube that had been attached to Carly. We can easily hold her, and tomorrow we will take her for her first walk outside for some fresh air on the 6th floor patio. We also expect to hear the next steps in Carly's treatment plan tomorrow. It seems that this will likely be a second surgery several months from now, giving Carly time to grow and develop before going through this a second time. She has already shown us that she is strong enough to beat it.

Love, Brad

Yes! Great news. I'm so happy to hear that you're out of the PICU and into your own room all together again and no wires/tubes for Carly! Enjoy the fresh air today, Carly, it's very fall-like out there. :)

Sounds like you guys may be only a week or two away from a good old Sunday Afternoon Urban Hike.
