• Wednesday Evie Update

  Some *good* news!  Evie got to move from ICU to a regular room!   The folks from hospice were supposed to come this afternoon to discuss what would need to happen and be in place before Evie could go home.  She very much wants to go home.

  She's still having quite a lot of discomfort because she's been immobile for so many days now.  They were able to get her up onto the side of the bed today and let her sit up for a few minutes.  Her cousin Sarah has been with her at the hospital some. 

  Her ICU nurses are already missing her!  One of her nurses from ICU came down to visit her and brought her a groovy nightlight to clip to her journals she's writing for the kids.  Another came down this morning when she got off her own shift to help Evie get settled in her new room.  Y'all pray a special blessing for those nurses, would you?  They are heaven-sent, no doubt! 

  Ev was able to eat just a little today for the first time in lots of days.  It was more about the sensation of getting to chew and swallow because it was drained immediately via her tummy tube.  But she did get to eat some soft foods.  So she was pretty excited about that!

  I haven't heard anything back this evening as to how the meeting with hospice went.  But as soon as I know something, I'll let you all know. 
  
  Thank you for your continued prayers and support!  Paul is bringing in mail from all of the folks who love Evie each day.  And she's really enjoying that!
