Senorita Hannah's Untethered Adventure

We went out to eat this evening at our favorite Indian restaurant. What makes it notable, though, is that this is the first time Hannah has taken a field trip with no tubes or wires. We had the oxygen and monitor in the car, just in case, but she'd been off the oxygen and satting (keeping her oxygen saturation up) high since around noon, so we just watched her color and she pretty much dozed contentedly throughout the meal. When we got home, she was still satting high, and ready for playtime on the mat. We keep her on the monitor to make sure she's doing OK, and we'll put her back on the oxygen before bed tonight. But it's beginning to look like she can do fine without it. We'll see what the pulmonologist thinks next Thursday.

I had to drive back to the restaurant to look for a missing bootie. We had put her booties on in the car seat and covered her with a blanket like we normally do, to protect her from the cold when moving to/from the car. The blanket stayed on the whole time, we just fold it down to uncover her face once we get inside. But when we got home and whisked away the blanket, one bootie was gone. And Hannah just looked at us as if to say "Ta daaa! Put the blanket back and I'll make the other one disappear!" These aren't just any old booties (they're shaped like little ducks and were a gift), so I went back to the restaurant and found the wayward footwear sitting next to the cash register. I'll duct-tape them on next time.


Hannah got to wear her first skirt today, part of an ensemble from her Tio (uncle) Gabe. Looks like she'll be able to grow into it for several months, probably as long as we can still fit the top over her ever-expanding head.
