And just like that...

SHE'S FREEEEE!!!!  Free of wires, cords, laying flat and free to eat whatever she wants!  So thankful right now.  I scooped her up in my arms and squeezed her tight!  She was a little leery when I picked her up out of the crib.  Her body is super shaky from not getting as much to eat and I'm sure lack of sleep is at fault too.  So the next step is getting her some protein.
Happy baby and happy mommy!!!
 
Chicken and Rice is what's for lunch today!  Along with some plum berry with barley
 
and cheerios-we can't forget her favorite thing of all!!  She would drop one on the floor and say, "uh-oh!"  And if you don't pick it up immediately, she will stare at it and keep saying uh-oh until you do!
Dr. Menezes came in about 1:00 and said since it has been 48 hours we are free to get her up and moving around again.  He said we will do an MRI tomorrow morning to determine if he is going to open the valve some more or wait and have us come back next week.  He gave us a tentative day of going home on Saturday or maybe Sunday.  He said that won't change no matter if he leaves the valve the way it is or opens it some more.  The only difference that would make is when we come back again.  He also gave us permission once again to feed the kid and made sure our nurse was aware too.  His fellow is going to come back later and change the dressing on her wounds sometime today.
