Well it happened - I walked into Kristi's room this morning and she was off of the vent doing a trial breathing test. They put on a collar and just give her oxygen but no pressure support. Five hours into it and she is still doing great!!! They will try for 12 hours today and let her rest overnight. This is a huge accomplishment and we are ecstatic. Maybe she can start trying to talk in a few days; don't know about food as we flunked the jello test.
Also - the Doctor feels it is time to transfer her to a lower level of care and one that is better equipped to help with her physical rehab needs. They tell me it will take anywhere from 1 day to a week to get this done. We are looking at a hospital outside of San Jose which is much closer to home and Kristi is really excited to just "get on with things" and to have a change in scenery.
Its all good!!!! (And, it was really nice to write this one)
Love to all of you - K,J,M,S,M,S
