Day After Surgery

Kenadi was doing so great todaythe day after her big surgery. The doctors all felt that she was doing so good that they decided to move her to a different ventilator a couple of days earlier than intended. On this new ventilator her chest doesnt vibrate like it did, and it allows her to breathe easier on her own. In the next two days, the doctors and nurses think she wont need a ventilator at all. Once that ventilator comes out she will be able to cry. It feels a little odd that we are excited about a baby crying, but we havent hear her cry yet. Then after that they will look at taking out a tube in her side. When that comes out we will be able to hold our baby for the first time! We are seeing a lot fo progression and are so excited about what we are seeing happen!

Oh, I love when they start to take all the tubes out of them! It means there's visible progress! Yay!

I guess we will pray for the crying to begin...that is kinda funny, huh?
