Katie has been moved back to the women's health wing where she and Melanie were reunited. There are smiles on every face now and spirits are high. The lactation nurse arrived to help with the first real attempt. More practice is anticipated. It looks like Melanie will be "rooming in" with Katie for the time being. The room is quite large and has a second visitor's bed which will be put to use.
We have hopes that Melanie may be released tomorrow (Tuesday 3/23). Not only is she perfect, but she's gorgeous as well.
Katie has not had a fever in days. She's in very good spirits although she is still getting respiratory treatments and trying to clear her lungs of fluids. Coughing is encouraged. The clot issue seems to have taken a back seat now and everyone seems quite pleased that it has been addressed. Antibiotics continue and the focus is on getting Katie's o2 levels up. No estimated release date on her at this time.
