Goodnight!

It was a good day today. Breathing tube was removed and she is breathing with a slight cpap type mask. Breaths are good and she is working on rebuilding the lung breath strength. She is exercising her lungs and they will wean her off the cpap. She can now talk to us and is feeling better. A little sore from lying on her back but she gets turned regularly and Joyce and I have given her back rubs. White blood count is down demonstrating that the pneumonia is decreasing. She is still on antibiotics for the strep pneumonia though. All the metering numbers are positive and she can now converse with us and the staff very well. She is off the morphine, except for last night when the nurse gave her some to keep her asleep overnight. She will probably still be in the ICU for a few more days but her condition tonight is so much better than a few days ago.
