Ventilator Removed 2/1/07

Patti is no longer on the ventilator. It was not doing anything as of 11:45 am today, so the doctors and nurses told her they were going to take the tube out of her throat. She admitted she was a little scared. After they took it out, everything is good. She still has the oxygen like she had before (up her nose), but the setting is only at 3 liters per minute (I believe) and it is only for her comfort, not because she needs it.

I can't even explain to all of you my feelings of gratitude for your prayers. Thank you and keep praying.....
