Madeleine was extubated last evening and is doing very well breathing without the ventilator. She's still on a high flow nasal canula but all reports this morning are that she's doing well and will be slowly weaned. We're trying not to look too far ahead as we know that Madeleine can always fall backwards, but if all goes according to plan, its possible that Madeleine's stay in the CICU will be coming to an end. (We're likely still days away.) We expect to move from the CICU once she's stable and has been taken off the high flow nasal canula. Rather than go home, we'll likely go the Heart and Kidney Floor-- just down the hallway-- and will then determine a plan to get her home. Again, that's down the road a bit but that's where we're focused.
That's all for now-- all good news. Thanks again for your support.
