We've been extubated!!!!........that's a good thing!!

Do you know how you just know certain things about your family? Well I know for a fact, absolutely no question in my mind my Mom does not like a tube down her throat! And they finally took it out. This is great news! They've had to wait a few extra days to take it out because the patient has to be coherent and pass a few breathing tests and the way my Mom's body has been reacting to the medication has prevented her from waking up enough to pass the tests. They will also be taking the neck brace off tonight which she doesn't like either. It seems like its taken forever but things are finally moving. Hopefully she will be talking tomorrow!
