Lyra continues to surprise us. Today we headed to the hospital thinking it would be a day of rest and for the most part it was, but we also found out that her doctors are about ready to transfer her out of the PICU and to the normal pediatric floor. She'll still be seen by the cardiology docs, but Maren (and maybe myself if two parents are allowed to stay) will likely be staying with Lyra overnight soon, possibly even beginning tomorrow.
Her progress has been exciting, but it's difficult to accept it completely, but I think we're starting to turn the corner on that. The nurse today was filling us in on all the stuff we need to buy for her, so it looks like a big shopping trip will be happening within the next few days. Knowing what was in store for her, we had put the idea of taking her home with us our of our minds until the major events were completed, but with those behind us, it's really starting to hit us that she is going to be coming home.
