Ta-DA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Sophia did a magic trick today. She made her vent disappear. After talking to the respiratory therapist last night we thought at the soonest Sophia would have her vent removed would be on Monday. Well after having another good night, not receiving any additional medicine doses and being weaned off the Nitric the doctors thought she was doing well enough to remove the vent. Sophia agreed with them and is truly enjoying being off the vent. Today she also had her sedation medicine weaned to off , making it so she had allot of awake times, one of which lasted over three hours. Last time they took her off the vent she had to go to High Flow Oxygen then to regular Oxygen. Today she went straight to regular Oxygen and they believe that she'll be off of that with in the next two days. She still has a catheter and her pain medicine. When the pain meds are gone they will remove the Foley catheter. Soon enough she will be eating and in a big girl bed ...
