She was super relaxed today and had been on the absolute minimal ventilation all weekend, plus her duct has almost certainly closed, so the docs decided to get that tube out today.
We were told that they would start at 1400, but they actually started closer to 1500 and finished at about 1530. She was very exited when we went back in to see her and Leanne put her hands on Katy to do some "containment holding". This has really calmed her down.
Hopefully she will continue on CPAP and not have to be re-intubated this time, but there is still a chance she may not cope. She seems loads better than last time though, so fingers crossed!
We have had some wonderful cards recently, and thank you all so much for those. We had a card today saying "Dear Katy, Welcome to the word" and without the tube in, Katy can really get a taste of this crazy place!

So pleased that the tube is out and will keep everything crossed that it doesn't need to go back in. She certainly sounds like a little fighter!
lots of love to you all,
