Great extubations

The tube is out.

After a really stressful hour and a half for leanne and I they finally pulled their fingers out and got the tube out aswell. Apparently the tube was very "gunky", indicating that is had been causing problems and would have to have been changed whatever happened.

Katy seems to be okay breathing on her own. A small number of dips in this, peaks in that. If she can manage it, then brilliant, if she needs to be re-intubated, so be it.

She has been put back on her front and she looks really relaxed, so are her parents, for now.

To Mark and Leanne,

Congratulations guys she is so beautiful. Just to let you know that there are lots of people in merthyr praying for you and your families. My parents church have had a prayer group for katy and I havent prayed for ages but i am getting back on it. Any thing matt can do for you just ask him as he is nearby. She is a little trooper and wish her a happy one week birthday.
love Judith and Matt xx
