Talking to the Bees

Hadley was extubated last night and I can't tell you how excited we are. It was so fast the way they whipped that tube right out of her. We anxiously awaited her cry which finally came as a mousy squeek. I had not held her since Friday so I danced around the bed waiting. When they finally put her in my arms, it was like being reunited with your true love. She is still on the feeding tube and they have oxygen in her nose as well, but she is doing so well. Every day we see her move more. Just yesterday she tried to turn her head. We're hoping to be out of the ICU soon.

Here is a video that I took on April 4 of this year. I posted it to YouTube and originally just sent it to the grandparents, because I thought it would only be of interest to them. However, DG and I are finding it to be great medicine for us to remember how she was just last week.



DG also posted a picture of Hadley in the hospital flickr. Click here to see it.
