Of course things never go as planned.

Last night they tried to lower the work the breathing tube was doing to see if Ally would take some breaths on her own. She did not make the cutoff for extubation (taking the breathing tube out).

We are trying again today. The doctor said that it would "probably" come out today, but that means nothing, until the tube is actually out.

Let's all let out a collective "GRRRRR" please.
(We appreciate that the doctors are being so careful, but it has been 5 days since we've had our little Ally; and we want her back.)

On the plus (because the kid next to us has it much worse, so it is not all bad) Daddy got a good night sleep in the PICU last night.
