Off Ventalator!

Evynn was extibated today!  She tolorated the chest closure and is now breathing on her own.  Her nurse thinks they will take out her chest tubes tomorrow.  Evynn's blood pressure is a bit high which they are controlling with meds and her heart is still not functioning well... also being controlled with meds.  The valve which caused all this drama is still leaking.  Her surgeon continues to mention heart transplant as a possible route... so we continue to play the wait & see game.  BUT it was wonderful to hold her today!
