Out of the ICU

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Yesterday around 4pm Claire turned a corner. She perked up and started breathing a little better on her own. She was released from the ICU and we're enjoying the comfort and privacy of a normal room in the pediatric unit now. She still has a long way to go, but now I know she'll be ok. 24 hours ago I didn't feel so confident. Now my worries are focusing on Lia. She's taking steroids in anticipation that she will be dealing with this at the same level her sisters have. I feel like I'm looking out the window waiting for the third round of a hurricane to hit.
One thing I know for sure... I will NEVER take my children's health for granted.

I am glad to hear that she is out of NICU. I hope the 3rd round doesn't hit!

Read about your girls on TC--glad that Claire is better, hoping Lia skips it. I have GGGs and an older daughter, like you, and also had some health scares recently, so I appreciate the comment you made about never taking your kids' health for granted. Prayers to you and your family. --Amy

Oh Stephanie... I just checked your blog and am so sorry about all you, Derek and the girls are going through! Wish I was there to give you all a hug... My prayers are with all of you and especially my three little "primary babies"!
