Update for Tuesday, March 22

Ladies and gentlemen - IT'S GRADUATION DAY! Miss Katherine Grace McDermott has graduated today from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Her new home is the Infant Special Care Unit where she will start to learn the skills she needs to go home. Katherine's goals now are to learn how to eat through a nipple and to regulate her own body temperature. They'll continue to wean her from the oxygen, and they'll move her into a regular baby crib when she's ready. It seems like the limitations on only us holding her will be eased a bit now, so perhaps the rest of her family can start to hold her soon. Since the move was from the 6th floor to the 2nd floor, Paul is saying now, "one more floor to the door". We're all very happy today!
