What A Good Day!!!

What a day, what a glorious day!  We knew that once her chest was closed things would rapidly improve, but we were thinking day-by-day not hour-by-hour.  Here's what happened just today:

 Ventilator tube is out.
Pacemaker wires are out.
Foley catheter is out.
Drainage tubes are now shorter and she can be moved with them.
All but one IV is out, it's delivering her TPN and lipids, her nutrients.
All IV meds stopped, getting them orally and just when needed.
Trophic feeds have been increased and will be again tomorrow.
