Recovery Day 5 - lots of pee

Not too much to report. Lyla is maintaining and peeing a ton! She was at -375cc just from in the morning. Still extra fluid in the right side, but the therapies are helping. Today the fluid that collects in the chest tube bulb looked a little cloudy. The nurse thought it was probably a result from the formula/breastmilk combo she was giving Lyla, but she wants to keep an eye on it for something else. However, tonight the night nurse said it looked clear, so hopefully that has passed.
  She's squirming around more, not huge movements, but figity. Every once in awhile she opens her eyes for a split second. Sometimes after hearing my voice, which is a nice feeling but sometimes makes me sad.
  Night nurses switched the ventilator tube from the right side of her mouth, to the left.
  Echo was done and heart function looks better. We did not talk to the cardiologist regarding this yet.
  Looking less puffy. And her fingers aren't as hard either from being full of fluid.
