Mercury Sinks But Spirits Rise in M43-05!
It was -13 Fahrenheit outside the Cleveland Clinic this morning and felt like -235 with the windchill (slightly colder than the surface temperature on the moon according to astronomers at Case Western Reserve University). But inside in room 5 of the PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, pron. "Pick You," as in choosing up teams for touch football), feelings were warm, as Bayla was extubated. Here she is, pictured without breathing tubes, wearing the hat knitted by her sister Anna during surgery. Dr. Mumtaz says she is recovering at a record pace for an AV Canal-Tetralogy of Fallot patient.

Yeah Bayla! That is fantastic! I love the name of your post today, sooo appropriate! She looks adorable with the little hat on that Anna made for her. Keep up the fight little girl! You are doing fabulous! See you at the PICU in a little while.
