She was asking for food and feeling much better, though she was still on pain meds and antibiotics.

Mira was stepped down in the afternoon to a normal room. It&#8217;s funny because we physically moved her up to the 5th floor. But apparently stepped down in a hospital is much different than what normal people think.<\/p>\n<p>Grandma and Grandpa stopped by to see her. And I went home in the afternoon to get ready to head back to work on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n<p>Word from the doctor was that as long as things continued to progress well, Mira would be going home sometime tomorrow. I planned to head into the office tomorrow morning and come back in the afternoon to pick Erika and Mira up and take them home.<\/p>\n<p>True to form, the following day works just as planned. I head over to the hospital around 3PM and pick up Erika and Mira. We have her home by 5PM.<\/p>\n<p>Mira is running around jumping on me and acting like her old self. We can&#8217;t believe how quick of a turnaround this is. Everything is just going fantastic. We put Mira to bed around 9PM and she drops right off to sleep&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4AM we got the wake up call for the cat scan.
