Good Lookin Gal

I got here this morning and my first thought was how good she looked. My nurse today had not been here for a couple of days and we both talked about how we thought she looked a lot better today. They have trialed her off the ventilator and she is currently breathing on her own with a little help. They give her a one hour trial (I didn't realize it was that long). These exercises are basically her 'workout' to get her used to having to breathe on her own. So when they are ready to take her breathing tube out, she will know how to do it. Also, they took her two chest tubes out--YAY! So now, she only has two PICC lines, an art line, a breathing tube and a feeding tube. Not to shabby! They also did an echo cardiogram this morning to check on the blood clot and we are waiting to hear back. So far, so good.
