For the first time since mid-June, WE ARE BREATHING TUBE-LESS!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She did amazingly well with her first big "breathing test" last evening and this morning and her "blood gases" looked great too so the decision was made and around noon time it was decided to take it out. They have put her on the BiPaP machine for now (the mask-looking thing) for at least the next few hours. The goal is to have her gradually move from the BiPaP to the nasal canular. But at least we get to see that pretty face without all of the tape and that big 'ol breathing tube.
And, to make this day even better, little baby Gracie, who was five months old when she got her new heart, and who had been here before we got here, got discharged today. What an amazing sight to see the nurses and doctors hugging/high-fiving the family as they were leaving.
Just a great day.
