Sing a Song

I am too happy for words. Avery, although she looked worse today, face is slack and puffy, she isn't a blueberry. They're still keeping her sedated, but things look good. They "sprinted" her off of the ventilator, where Avery initiates the breath and the machine gives her a puff of air to help her breathe on her own. They will sprint her, probably 3 times and if all goes well, they may EXtubate her tonight! Yay. After she was INtubated for so long last time, this seems almost unreal (perhaps it is and I shouldn't jinx it). :)

Avery did open her eyes, groggily, but I did put my face where she could see it if she was focusing.

Today, the wonderful social worker, let me know that I got into the Ronald McDonald house!!! Wonderful, reassuring, terrific news.

I'll keep her changes posted and hopefully get a photo up tomorrow.
