Lily Is Tubeless!!

Today was a very special day for us. Lily has recovered to the point where all her tubes were removed. Two drainage tubes from her chest, her catheter, and (best of all) her breathing tube!

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.

(((HUGS))) Although I don't know you all, my now three year old under went OHS two months after we got home from China for her ToF. She had a HUGE VSD and pulmonary atresia. We spent two weeks in the PICU after her surgery and so I can understand what you are going through. I am thrilled to see that Lily is improving and off her vent. HUGE progress! You will be amazed at the difference in your little girl once you are home.
