Eliza update 3/19 9pm

Dear all,

Not much is new, except that we were told today that Eliza will likely come home in two weeks or less. Of course, we're thrilled at this prospect; our little girl will finally get home! On another level, though, we're also aware that this new eagerness to get her out of the hospital probably means a few things: first, she doesn't have time to waste, which is a fact we'd like to forget but obviously never can; and second, it's looking less and less likely that she'll be able to live without the nasal cannula and feeding tube, so there's no real reason to keep her in the hospital if she has progressed as far as she can. Looks like we will have lots more to learn about working her machines once she gets home...

I'm feeling particularly talked (and emailed) out tonight, and Sam's at the hospital giving Eliza her bath, so that's all for us tonight.

Love,
us
