Some encouraging signs

The news has been good the last couple of days. Baby's heart rate has spent some time in the 130s and 140s. In fact, the last few monitorings have had it in that range much more than in the 200s. It is still bouncing back and forth, but the trend toward the lower rate is encouraging. All of the ultrasounds continue to show a normal, healthy baby with no signs of damage or failure related to the high heart rate.
There is talk of Robyn coming home as early as tomorrow (Monday). We had been thinking Wednesday was the target date, but the cardiologist this morning said that he thinks Monday is possible. That would be great. The drug continues to make her feel quite drained and lousy, but it would be nicer to feel that way at home where she can see Finley more, she can sleep for much longer stretches, and Tasman can snuggle her blahs away.
