Sorry for the delay guys. Been extremely busy last few days. All great news though. Once they got her off the ventilator she started improving right away. She did have a lung infection and they got that cleared up with loads of antibiotics. Steh started eating little by little until they were fairly sure she could eat enough to get enough nutrition then they pulled the feeding tube and the last of her chest drains. She was very happy to be able to talk and eat and use her hands again. I will update again in a couple days. Have lots of things to do the next couple days...going into discharge mode!! Thank you guys again for your thoughts and prayers. They are most definitely working! I have some stories to tell when I get some time
