Life is finally getting back to normal. We got home on Monday afternoon and Emma Kate has been doing great! She is just as happy as she can be. After her chest tube came out on Saturday, she had an x-ray each day to make sure that fluid did not reaccumulate on her lung. Everything looked clear and it was such a relief to hear the news that we would finally be going home! Tomorrow we have an appointment with Dr. Law to check her chest via x-ray for fluid reaccumulation. So far she does not have any symptoms. Her breathing is normal and she is so, so happy, other than the occasional cry from the pain from her side.
Here are some pictures from our most recent stay at Egleston!
In the ambulance on our way to Egleston. She actually had a good time, even though she looks sad here.
Playing with her feet. This was two days before surgery.
Emma Kate and our wonderful surgeon, Dr. Kirshbom. We LOVE him!

This sweet baby girl reminds me SO MUCH of my Olivia. That round full face. That smile that brightens everyone's day.
