Here we are just minutes after they
extubated her. My sweet baby girl! Words cannot express the joy in my heart. Twenty one days of not holding her are now behind us, thank the Lord! She is breathing great on her own...the first couple breaths were tricky for her. I think she forgot how to breathe on her own since the machines have been doing it for her for a 1/3 of her life. But she got the hang of it real fast and has been doing great.
Here is Dave and his girl. Her little cry is so sad sounding. It is super soft and hoarse.
Is this picture priceless or what? This was about five minutes after being
extubated. She is thinking, "Hallelujah, that tube is finally out!" She is such a little trooper. I was scared she forgot how to smile so this was so thrilling to see:) Love it. She is still on oxygen for a day or two and then....let's hope, we can go home!!!!!
