No more breathing machine!!!
Perfect timing...Deana, Jesse and I went to visit mom. The nurse came in and said they were going to take the breathing tube out and to step out for a few minutes. We were so pumped. Of course, we wanted to chat away when we went back in but that won't happen for a day or two. It was nice to see mom's face without a bunch of tubes everywhere. Jesse was sweet and got a swab and some water to moisten her lips because they looked dry. We could tell she tried to make some noise but that wasn't going to happen. A couple of times a loud beeping sound went off and the nurse came in and told mom to just take deep breaths, that must have been the machine that is keeping track of the amount of oxygen she is getting. It was wonderful to see her smile.
Shane and Shila tried to visit later in the day and the nurse turned them away. Mom was needing rest. I guess she also was getting agitated and tried taking out her feeding tube...woops!
