Today was a good day! Mom used to have about 3 pumps running...today she's down to one. They also moved her back into a regular hospital bed and she's out of the air bed. Her vent settings are very minimal and they think they'll will try to pull out the tube (known as "extubation") on Thursday. The best part of the day though, is that Mom is more alert. She's not completely awake all of the time, but she opens her eyes and responds to us.
Now, of course, she can't talk because of the tube, but she CAN mouth words, and some of the words are very clear. Today, we could understand: "I love you" , "I want to go home"(I told her that she had a little more work to do before she could go home, but that she would get home soon), "Hi babe" (Joe walked in and said hello) and "Who's on the phone?" (That would've been James).
There's probably other good stuff too, but I just can't think past being able to communicate:)
Thanks for all of your prayers...they are working!! Praise the Lord!!
WooHoo!!!

This is nothing short of a miracle!! As some of your co-workers gathered in a prayer circle yesterday morning at 10:30 God was yet at work. He is a healer. Can't wait to hear your testimony Mary!!
