Look who turned the corner!

Amazing what a little rest and pain management can do.  Mila was finally able to turn that corner in her recovery over the weekend. 

She started slowly eating on her own on Saturday and is making more progress at each feeding. We got our first smiles on Sunday since before surgery.  She got the stitches on her head taken out Tuesday morning and by Tuesday night she was sitting up on her own and being playful.  Such a good sight to see our little girl back. 

We are cleared from neurosurgery for discharge but have a lot of other things that need taken care of first.  Marcela and I need to learn how to put in the NG tube for feeding and medicines... Not looking forward to that. Hopefully only for a few days until Mila is getting enough nutrition and hydration on her own.  

We also have to figure out and have in place all of her therapy needs back in California.  We found out that through my insurance that we are able to get in-home therapy for Mila.  Such a blessing.  We can get her home to get proper rest and out of a hospital setting to do things on our schedule.  We hope to get the therapists she already has and loves to work with which will make things even easier. 

Things are finally looking up and we should be back home in the near future.

Thank you to all of the #MightyMila supporters out there.
