Sweet Baby

Brooklyn, Gunner, Jeremy and Ashley got Jaclyn this little red elephant from the gift shop and she thinks it is the greatest thing ever. She stares at it all day. Jaclyn has been doing much better the past two days. She has lost a centemeter in her stomach and has seemed much more comfortable and relaxed. The swelling in her legs has completely gone away and they look like they use to again. Slowly but surely she is getting closer to getting out of the hospital. Today the doctors said that when Jeff gets back from Snowflake they will show us how to get the feeding tube in and out and we will hopefully be able to feed her bottles during the day at home and put the feeding tube in at night to ensure that she gets all the nutrients that she needs. She always lays with her head really far back. All of the nurses that are new come in and say stuff about it but we just have to tell her that she has always liked to lay like that. They are also all saying that she looks like a Who from Whoville with her hair in a little curly mohawk.

Enjoying her animals

Her legs back to normal size
The nurses were keeping track of a red patch on her belly with this tape, but the surgeon came in and said he was not worried about it.
Once again enjoying her animals.
