This morning we were told that Gracelyn is doing so well that she is ready to be moved out of the CICU. She has had a good majority of her lines taken out. She is left with her picc line, her feeding tube, one IV in her foot and she is on a small amount of oxygen. They have tried to get her off of the oxygen, but her sats drop. She didn't want to eat for the nurse last night (I think it was him not her. First thing he said is that he likes working with big people better.) so that have her on a continuous feeding. Tomorrow they are going to give me the chance to try and feed her again and possibly nurse. We have had an amazing nurse today that has explained things I have been trying to learn over the last 4 months in a way I have never been able to understand before. She looks beautiful! When they weighed he this morning she was down to 7 pounds 1 ounce. She has lost so much water. Her face isn't red and swollen, her eyes aren't as puffy and she has kept them open quite a bit for us. She got her first bath and they washed her hair. 
Jeff is being a big baby hog. He has been holding her for the last 3 hours. I can't get him to give her up. :)
It looks like if she keeps things up she will be coming home as soon as Monday, if not Tuesday. Depending on how she does she may be coming home with oxygen and the feeding tube.
