What a wonderful morning. Last night I slept like a kid waiting for Christmas morning. Today we get to hold Natalie!!! Her breathing tube is out and she is napping so peacefully. She must be even more relieved than we are. It was a long 10 days of waiting, but it's finally here. Now that the tube is removed we can hold her and she is more mobile. I am sure that she will like being held again.
They are going to start weaning her off of the diuretics now that she is more mobile. Mobility helps her to get rid of some of the fluid on her own. She is still getting a little oxygen pressure to help soothe her throat and help her lungs adjust. She is doing very well, even better than we anticipated. Amen, Praise the Lord!
We are still in the ICU and we are not sure when we will be moved to recovery. She still needs to be monitored very closely. We know the plan for today will be to keep getting fluid off the lungs and napping a lot! Sleep is good for her.
Thank you softball gals for the gifts. We are staying caffeinated and that is always a good things. Your cards and gifts definitely help to bring comfort to us and takes away some of the stressors in our lives. We can't thank you enough. Brad, Natalie and I look forward to watching you all play next summer. Rose and Andrea, that means one more year. You already adjusted to them moving the bases back a few feet, so what else is there! Thank you all for your kindness and for praying for us during this time. Nat will be running bases with you this summer.
Here is a picture of our dolly without her breathing tube. Yeah!!
