Eliza has had a fabulous last couple of days in the NICU. It has seriously been jaw dropping to everyone. By the end of this week she was cleared by urology, which is absolutely nothing short of a miracle. Even with mild spina bifida, most all cases have major bladder/bowel issues. Eliza's spina bifida is severe and she's showing zero signs of any issues thus far which is great! Plastics has given her two thumbs up also. Her skin grafts both took 100% and the donor site on her leg has already healed so well that you can't even tell they used it for a graft. She'll still be staying on her belly full time for a few more days, then we get to gradually move her around some. Yay!! The physical therapist was able to get some sensory and muscle movement from all areas of both of her legs. We're still in the process of uncovering all of her lower leg function but this news in itself is fantastic since we were told her diagnosis meant she should have absolutely zero movement from the belly button down. Neurology is also thrilled. From the beginning they were sure she'd need a brain shunt, but she has shown no signs of the predicted hydrocephalus thus far. She has one more brain ultrasound on Monday morning that needs to come back clear and they'll officially be the last ones signing off on her hospital stay!
Which means we get to come home!! Obviously tons of follow ups with all of these people from here on out but home will be SO lovely after these last few weeks gone!
