Another day of steady progress. She seemed more curious to me today. Looking at the glowing pulse ox monitor on her thumb through her lashes, feeling the wires from the leads on her chest. She handled the new "wake up" medication very well during the day but got a little agitated in the evening. It seems to me she's taking in what's going on and trying to process it and learn how to talk to her body.

I'd really like to see her off the ventilator by the weekend. I think she'd be much more comfortable. We'll just all have to hope and pray.
