Off the vent!

Sorry for the lack of updates… (I guess you could say we’ve been busy)

Tuesday got off the vent on Friday after 25 days, 9 of which were spent on the oscillator.  
One of her two sedation drugs came off this am, the other one will come off at 1pm today.
She’s moving all over her bed and as soon as her nurse gets all her cords untangled, she flips around and tangles them again.
Her time in the PICU is coming to an end!

    Praise God!
    I am so happy for all of you!
    I can just imagine how exciting it must be to see her being a bit more like herself 🙂
    Saying many prayers that she is back in her Oncology room very very soon and is home in your arms in the near future.
    Much love!
