Saturday

We had our best night of sleep yet. Gabi was settled by about midnight and everything was quiet until about 4am, so we both got a nice chunk of sleep. We are excitedly anticipating what today will hold because Gabi has remained stable for quite a while and she is needing to be suctioned less. The nurse stopped her tube feeding in the night and has been slowly decreasing her sedation and pain medications allowing her to wake up. All of these things are in preparation for another try at taking her breathing tube out (extubation). Doctors are considering doing this today. We hope that this will happen, but we also hope that she is ready for it.
