We lost some noodles, and gained a noodle. The left atrium line and chest tube are out now, but a new catheter had to go in. She hadn’t had a wet nappy since they took it out.
Click here to see photos of the spaghetti bowl before things started coming out. Viewer discretion is advised because it shows Ellie with her chest uncovered.
More real soon as we expect the breathing tube out soon!

The score card does rock! List and spreadsheet makers of the world unite!! Thanks for posting the pics — but wow they were tough! You are all three troopers. We love you and love hearing about Ellie’s progress. We are sending you cheers and good vibes in our best Clint voice — that’s a man who knows how to kick some spaghetti ass.
