Today was a good day for Emma. The doctors removed her LAP tube - left artery pulmunary tube that was attached in the heart. They also removed the venilation tube from her nose, so she is breathing on her own now. They are slowly weaning her off the drips and meds. After the nurse gave Emma her bath today, I was able to hold her for the first time since Friday. She didn't want to lay back, but sit up, so that is good. She wasn't up long though and fell back asleep. She looks more peaceful today then she has the last couple of days. The nurses says that alot of times after the venilator comes out they tend to sleep alot. Tomorrow they are planning to remove so chest tubes for her, and hopefully by Wednesday we will be moving to the step down room.
Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers and keep them coming - they seem to be working!
