Doing Better....

Well, today is definitely a new day.  Reagan has been more of herself today than any day so far.  When the respiratory therapist came in this morning to give her a breathing treatment, I took the opportunity to go down and get me some coffee & breakfast and asked Reagan if she wanted anything.  We've asked her the last several days and she hasn't wanted anything but today, to my surprise, she said, yes, she wanted some sweet tea.  She took about 3 sips of sweet tea and 2 bites of a peach.  That's huge, as that is the first thing she's had in her mouth since we've been here.  Then, I asked her if she felt like trying some soup for lunch today and she said yes.  Looks like we're on our way.  She's also down to between 1/2-1L of oxygen.  She's still coughing up some yucky stuff.  I got the impression from the doctors this morning that if she had a good day, they'd let her go home this evening.  I told them I'd prefer to stay overnight and make sure she does ok.  As back in February when she was hospitalized with pneumonia, she started making progress and we went home then ended up 4 days later right back in the hospital.  Just trying to make sure she's ready this time.  As well as trying to adjust her nighttime breathing treatments to less frequently and make sure she does ok with it so that I'm not up all night giving breathing treatments at home by myself.  We're even going to get out of bed today and try to play with some toys that Child Life brought by. We're praying for a good day and a good night and hopefully, head home Wednesday.  Thank you for all your prayers and support.
