Making Progress....

So happy to have some positives to write about. Woo Hoo!
So they took both of her chest tubes out today which is good. Her AM chest xray was good after removing them. Removed her pacing wires from chest. And they just extubated (removed breathing tube) her about 10:10 am. She seems to be resting comfortably, shows no signs of distress or difficulty breathing at this time. She does have a little nasal cannula delivering supplemental O2 through her nose. Her oxygen saturations at at 89% right now. They plan to remove the central line in her neck today. Her urine output is good (getting lasix 3x day). Blood pressures a little high (getting Enalapril 2x day and PRN Hydralazine). They plan to have ENT doc evaluate her today or tomorrow re: vocal cord damage. I suspect there will be damage. They say "ususally" it is temporary. Lets hope for that!!

Well, I am just glad to be reporting some good news and we are taking steps forward towards recovery! Keep praying for my sweet Angel!!
