Zoey's Update: Day 30

A good report on Zoey from Stephanie:
zoey is doing very well. 3 of 4 catheters have come out the past couple days and iv too and plan is to take her out of traction on tuesday at latest probably, observe her and the incision, remove the last catheter and then if all is well she'll go home around thursday! Not sure what to expect with her coming out of traction -- i would guess she might be stiff and we'll see how strong her muscles are. She is finally at the point where she is ok with nurses taking all her vitals and it is fun to see her helping with taking temp, putting the devices away, letting the nurse know if she forgot to do something, etc….and of course she says thank you when she they are done all the checks.
we are down to only 1 nurse check overnight and zoey has been doing well (but i guess i'm so used to waking up that now i'm waking up for no reason!).
we'll let you know how she does coming out of traction
Love, Stephanie
