No More Vent!

Well I walked back into the unit to be greeted by her nurse saying "Now don't be alarmed but we decided to go ahead and pull the ventilator." I found Adeline wide awake and appearing much happier to finally not have a tube down her throat. It's so wonderful to see her beautiful little face again! Her nurse already sent off her first blood gas, and it came back great which means she's doing well breathing on her own. She does have a nasal cannula in to help remind her to breathe, and they will slowly wean her off this. She's sneezed a few times and has been working quite hard to bust out of her baby burrito. The big tube's out so now it's time to start to lose all of the other lines!
