We've been extubated...

and lost another central line.  The central line was in her neck so we're really happy to have it gone.  So she is changing feeding from an NJ to an NG tube, in other words the feeding tube doesn't need to be as far, it only needs to go to her stomach.  She is up to 6cc's of milk an hour which is 60% of the way to where they want her to be.  She still needs some air but not a ton.  Her little voice is hoarse but doesn't sound as bad as I was prepared for.  She still has a central chest tube to lose but the nurse just offered to help us hold her, yay!!!

Many have mentioned how well she has done.  We have been told she is the smoothest Norwood recovery they have ever seen.  I know that this is from all the prayers that have been offered on her behalf, we can feel the peace from those prayers and have been stunned by how well she has done.

She was extubated early this morning, they just decided there was no reason to keep it in.  We showed up and were pleasantly surprised that a large tube was missing.

Also, Brent and I were CPR and Heimlich trained yesterday and sent with a kit to train anyone who is interested.  It's really cool as it comes with a baby that is easy to learn with.

*We just heard Addy coo.  So cute!  I can't wait to cuddle this sweet baby of mine.
