Another good day

Hi everyone. I hope you all have had a good weekend. Britney continues to move her arms a lot. She has lifted her elbow off the bed multiple times. She followed me with her eyes when I talked to her. She has been picking up her head off the pillow a lot also. She does these things intermittently throughout the day and has been more sleepy at night. Her responsiveness comes and goes. We have had amazing nurses. Her nurse today told us that she has had many amazing experiences with patients who have been on ECMO who have recovered. Many have taken months to be ready to go to a rehab hospital. She is most likely having her lung surgery on Tuesday to take off the scaring on the outside of her left lung so it can expand more. Kids update: The kids had a great day playing at a friends house. Vera is having a hard time understanding why Britney isn't up talking to her yet if she is still alive. We have to reexplain things everytime we take her to see Britney. She gets really excited about every little movement Britney makes. Anna is growing like crazy. She kept me up half the night last night. I think she hit a growth spurt because she is eating a ton more and waking up more. She had some rice cereal today and gobbled it down. Hopefully she will sleep more tonight. She is staying the night at a friends house so we can get caught up on sleep. I'll post again tomorrow to let you know when the surgery will be.
John
