They have been given the all clear to go to recovery. They are just waiting for a bed to free up before they move her, which will probably be tomorrow morning sometime.
They took out 1 chest tube (which Jennifer stayed in the room for to help keep Payton calm), the arterial line and the pace maker wires. Payton stood up a little today (supported) and took a few baby steps but she didn't like it and wanted to sit back down. She was awake the whole morning and then slept from 12:00-4:00pm.
Granddaddy, Nana, and Bumpa were able to visit tonight, she was very happy to see them and very sad to see them go. There can only be 2 people in with her at a time and when Granddaddy left Payton cried. Her night nurse (who has been her nurse every night so far) heard her and told Payton "It's OK, your friend is here (meaning herself), you can go to sleep now." And she did. Jennifer will be sad to leave this nurse when they go to recovery. :)
Our prayer request right now is for Payton to eat and that the transfer to the recovery floor goes smoothly! She is such a little trooper.
