Saturday Update ...

Great news! Sydney has been moved from her PICU room to another floor (with other pediatric surgical patients) ... which basically means her recovery is moving along well. She still has a couple of "lines" in (i.e., IV's, oxygen sensor, etc.) -- but hopefully those will come out within the next day or so. Also, we are hoping that someone from physical therapy will come by tomorrow and she can get up and walk around for the first time. They were supposed to stop by her room today, but unfortunately (for some reason or another) they did not.

Sydney is looking better and better, but she still has moments where she seems like she is in a lot of pain (or even some really bad muscle spasms). She is still connected to the morphine pump, but she doesn't like to use it for the pain ... she says it makes her "sleepy".

Anyways, we're going to try and get some much needed rest. She is in and out of sleeping and we should "catch up" during those times.

Sydney sends her love,
