Is this the 8th trip?
Today was the 8th trip to the OR for Aria. She went down after lunch and we got a call pretty quick to say they had finished. They put in a couple of extra stitches BUT DIDN”T FIND ANY HOLES!!!!!! 
AND the culture from last wash out aren’t growing anything really exciting or rapid (just a bit of bacteria) and there is really hope the ones they took at this wash out might be clear.
So overall rounds sounded positive and tomorrow might be extubation day. Gosh that would be great although it will take Missy awhile to get her voice back after two week of that tube being in.
I spent a bit of the day sending out requests to apartment buildings for info. We have a couple of nice places that look good, one includes a playground so that is nice.
Looking forward to posting a photo of Missy without a breathing tube in her mouth.
