Update on Haley - 05/10/10 Evening

Haley is doing better everyday. She seems to be more and more like Haley each time we visit.
There hasn't been much change, but she is getting stronger. When we went in at 5:00pm, the nurse had just given her a bath. She wrote to her mom and asked if she and I would shave her legs!...and we did! I can't imagine enjoying anything more than doing something Haley really wants.

Tomorrow, the ventilator will be removed and replaced with a trachea. The nurse says this will be for the better at this time. This will eliminate the large neck collar that holds her neck back, allow her to eat soon, and move her mouth some. The trachea will begin with a large tube and be decreased as she gets better. She will have her next major surgery on Thursday, and her mouth will be wired then. I'm not sure how this will affect speech and mouth movement.

Trent, Myra, and Mike seem to be doing good today also. They are so appreciative for all the prayers and thoughts.

Good night,
Christie
