Joe and I went to Omaha this morning (through the falling snow - very Christmas-y) and saw that Delaney is doing well. She is still on the vent, but the docs and nurses have been able to lower the stats on the vent steadily. She is still sedated and on pain meds, but isn't requiring very much and they started very small feeds via a feeding tube.
I have hopes that they will be able to take her off the vent tomorrow, but we have to see what Miss Delaney thinks about that. After the vent is removed, we can slowly start back in on the feeding and see how she takes to it the second time around sans sequestration. She was sucking on the ventilator tube in her mouth today which we are taking as a good sign. It means that the muscles were getting a work out and that she wanted to be sucking.
We're headed back up to Omaha tomorrow morning and hope to see those bright blue eyes open up.
