Trachea Tube Romoved

Mama has had quite an exciting day. The doctors removed her trachea tube early this morning and she was able to eat breakfast rather than being tube fed. She's definitely enjoying being able to taste her food again and the thing she asked for was a diet coke which she can't have quite yet. They are going to keep the feeding tube in for another day or so until they make sure she's eating enough to remove it. They have been moving her her out of her bed and into a chair for a few hours a day which helps relieve some pressure from her back, meanwhile she has been working with a speech therapist and physical therapist daily to get her strength back. My dad's company has given him an additional two weeks off work to stay with mama and that has made quite a difference in her. She was nervous to be left alone during the day and now that she doesn't have that anxiety, she's improving bit by bit. Her fever has also come down and is hoovering just above normal but it's better than it was the past few weeks. We'll take any improvements, no matter how small, as a victory!

"Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength."

I love you mama, never give up!
