At this point the "big day" was yesterday, but who knows, today could be one too. Yesterday Lyra was taken off the ventilator and she did just fine. Her little vocal cords aren't too strong yet, so she sounded like a little kitten, but I'm sure that will change soon.
She was also taken off a lot of her medication while we were around, so she was a bit agitated most of the day. Maren and I took turns getting to hold her and that was pretty fantastic. She had a little episode where her heart rate shot up, but it came down on its own before they had a chance to give her any medication. Before we left for the day, she was given some plain old Tylenol and that seemed to make her more comfortable and she finally fell asleep.
Today will likely be more of a resting day. It's possible that she'll get some more lines removed because with the medication off, she won't need them. Other than that, not much else is planned.
