I got to hold June this am!!! She was awake and giving me some good eye contact (even though I felt like her eyes were saying, “Mom what the heck is going on here!”) It felt really great to hold her and give her gentle hugs and kisses.
June got one chest tube out today (a tube inserted in her chest to drain liquid post surgery). She’ll get her other one removed tomorrow. Plan is to move to the cardiac floor tomorrow or Monday to continue recovery in a less intensive setting. She is looking good, seems to be feeling ok, and again doctors and nurses reported in rounds today that they are pleased with her recovery progress. Dr. Kaza keeps saying that babies determine their own recovery route, there is not one clear path. June is on her own recovery journey, it may not be fast and furious but rather slow, steady, and with determination.

Your venous hand “HI” is out in full force, as if your and her hands are communicating!

Aggie, the way she is so focused on you shows the incredible bond you have already established, which is helping nurture her through this journey. Slow and steady is a good way to go–go Junebug!
