I talked to her so much today, I must have told her at least one hundred times how much I love her and how proud of her I am. She must be very special because I gave her a really long foot massage. Normally, I don’t like getting or giving massages :o) She loved it! She would look at me, then her eyes would dart around in excitement and then they would once again return to me!
They will be moving her out of the PICU and into the regular Pediatrics Department tonight or tomorrow.
This girl is movin’ on up!!
She looks so beautiful, and so comfy. She's moving along and healing so well. It has got to feel good to be able to move around a little more without the tubes. We'd love to come by to see you all after she gets settled into her new room. I have to say the new picture made me cry a few happy tears.
ReplyDeleteGo Avi! You're such a strong girl!
Wow, she looks so aesome with no tubes and such.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I give you kudos. You are keeping everyone updated without exposing too much of her on the blog. Good for you!
Although I know we would all love to see full on pics soon as she is looking mighty wonderful! PTL! You got yourself a miracle girl.
What a great day! Congratulations Avi...breaking out of the ICU!! HUGE forward step!! YOU GO, GIRL!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome news~ Continued prayers. What a strong little girl!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous day with your little miracle girl! She deserves a foot rub every day!!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, she's beautiful and so serene. Congratulations on MOVIN on UP!!!!! yea for Aviana. Many blessings, Rhonda
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful baby girl!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had such wonderful news! Still praying here! all the way from Guate! :)
Fabulous news! So glad you two could have such a special time of connection. It's great she is moving out of the PICU. It will be a bit of a change for you as there won't be nurses around nearly as much as you are used to. (you may already know this) It's a good thing tho as it's a step in the right direction. :)
ReplyDeleteCheering for you in Seattle!

Praise God for answered prayers!! Your little one is a true fighter in every sense of the word!! Congrats on the move! Can't wait until the day you're posting she's coming home!! HUGS and prayers!
ReplyDeleteJen, I have wondered now, when will you be able to hold her? Do you think now that she is off her tubes you will be able to hold her soon? I cannot imagine how badly you want to hold her in your arms..
ReplyDeleteBless you,
The Merenda family..
my heart sings for you...so happy for the progress, your connection and oh, she must have loved the foot massages---seriously, have you ever had a good foot massage---priceless....and from her mama, nothing could be better.
