The doctors removed the stints early this morning so she is feeling a little better. She just ate a popsicle and made a brief visit to the playroom but is now back in bed watching Wonderpets. I made a trip to Target this morning to stock up on videos (the hospital unfortunately has a very dated collection of videos- and seriously- if I didn't want to watch Barney in the 90's I certainly don't want to watch it now either) So we now have a healthy collection of Wonderpets, Backyardigans, and one that is a collection of all the Nick Jr faves (unfortunately including Yo Gabba Gabba- but it's still better than Barney) We will probably leave several of them behind for the next families who have Wonderpets fans.
The child life specialist indicated that a lot of p-flap kids need more time in the hospital (like 3-4 nights) and that they have a tough recovery but our doc is still saying no restrictions, and leaving tomorrow as long as she is eating and drinking (which is a major qualifier). She has been hit and miss with the food/drink but hopefully she take enough to make them happy. I think she will be much more cooperative at home. I mean this is the kid who we almost had another night stay after her palate surgery since she wouldn't eat or drink ANYTHING but then came home and ate a bowl of mac and cheese.

Glad to hear things are progressing... I said a prayer just now that she would eat and drink enough to go home. I know y'all would be more comfortable in your own space.
I'm glad things are progressing too! I'm hoping you all get to come home soon! We miss her and wish her a rapid recovery! I will keep checking the blog! Thinking of all of you!

Thanks for posting all of this. We may be following in your footsteps in the next year, or so. Glad your little one is progressing. Hope she is able to go home sooner than later.
