Do somersaults, cartwheels, back flips, scream at the top of your lungs, and jump for joy!!!! Cathy is breathing room air!!!!! For the first time in over two years Cathy and I are breathing the same air!
The trach was removed just after 4pm this afternoon. Since that time she has been completely off of oxygen. There is an oxygen mask, with six liters per minute of oxygen flowing, sitting right next to her if she should need it. For now it is more of a security blanket thing. She has not attempted any moving around yet, but as her courage builds this evening I am sure she will.
Hospital discharge documents are being prepared. Discharge may have happened by tomorrow or Friday but we have asked to remain in the hospital over the weekend. There is a 'bug' running around at home so we wanted to have this weekend to let it run its course.
And just in case you didn't believe it the first time you read it, here it is again:
