Today Greta once again decided she was done with her ventilator. And, fortunately for her, the doctors agreed. At 12:30 pm today she had enough of that tube up her nose and took it out. She is doing very well without the ventilator and resting very comfortably with her dolly in her mommy's arms.
She continues to improve daily, although today her white blood count dropped very low, but this is expected. We will need to be extremely careful now because she doesn't have much of a defense against infection. For this reason, we will need to limit visitors seeing Greta. Her parents, on the other hand, welcome all - we just may need to talk outside of her room. With any luck she will move out of the PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit) tomorrow. This is huge. Tune in tomorrow to see.
Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes.
Randy and Kristi
