You Go Girl!

Sophie has been doing great!!!! She has made so much progress in the last two days, and the doctors are impressed with what Sophie has been able to do. They have steadily been lowering her rates on the ventilator. She has been tolerating all the changes like a champ.
One of the med students who has been assigned to Sophie had a dream the last night that she was extubated and moving all around and doing great. She shared it with us and all the doctors and we all agreed that if it comes true this week, she is going to have patients lining up for her because of her visions :)
The plan is to continually lower her rates through out tomorrow and then if everything is looking good, Wednesday they will remove her breathing tube and see how she does. Can you believe it? I will finally be able to hold her, nurse her and hear her cry. I haven't been able to do that for almost three weeks. It has been, without a doubt, the longest three weeks of my life.
So please, keep the prayers coming for Sophie Mae. She has got a couple of big days coming up! I will let you know how she is doing.
