More Small Improvements...

Well yesterday we did have our spa day.  Eden got her hair washed, a sponge bath, and a manicure and a pedicure.  Everyone who saw her was sure to mention how good her hair and nails looked. She liked that.

She, of course, wanted her hair "flat" but I at least convinced her to let me pull the front back so it wasn't in her face too much.

She got lots of sweet "get well" messages from Steph and the kids - Painted prayer rocks and a cute card with notes from everyone.  I hope that reminded her how much she is loved by so many outside of this room.

She did a FaceTime call with grandma and grandpa Malarsie.  Obviously they did all the talking but I think she was happy to see them.  Its so hard to tell right now what really makes her happy.  She doesn't really react too positively to anything, but she'all occasionally crack a little smile which is our indication that whatever it is that's making her smile is a very good thing.  Our dog Ruby also happened to be over there so Eden got to see her.  Eden actually ended up getting a little teary eyed and mouthed to me "I miss Ruby". 

We took lots more walks around the unit.  I wish we could take her on a good walk outside to get fresh air, but when you qualify to be in the intensive care unit, I suppose that means you can't wonder off without a doctor around for some reason... Rules, rules, blah.  I think we have proven to this team that we are very hands on and capable.  I think I'll pick the doctor that seems to like us best and go for it - all he can say is no I suppose. :)

So far for the day today there isn't too much to update.  It's 7:30 am and she is still sleeping which is a great thing.  Last night was definitely the best sleep for all three of us.  She still wakes quite a bit and just reaches out to make sure we are here.  We grab her hand and she goes quickly back to sleep.  There was no midnight crafting, or dance parties which I love to do - but not in the middle of the night!  Brad and I even managed to both get a few hours of sleep laying together in this tiny bed.  It's way better than laying in the hospital bed or on the chair that doesn't stay reclined.  It feels good waking up a little more refreshed.

They also took her drain tube out of her neck, all while she slept.  That is a good step.  That's basically all for updates so far today.  All is well overall.
