Today, Angela's respiratory therapists made some tests to see if she could come off the ventilator. Three of the four she passed fine - the one where she has to inhale as big as she can and then blow it all out was not easy for her. It's hard to tell, but she may have forgotten how to tell those muscles what to do. After the test she started practicing deep breaths and seems to have gotten the idea. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
She did more exercising with the physical therapist, much the same as yesterday, but they didn't come until after 4:00, and she was tiring easily.
Tonight she wrote me something on a piece of paper to bring in tomorrow. It was difficult for her, and hard to read, but nice to have that available. Tomorrow, I think I'll take her a large size tablet and a crayon.
We continue to thank God for His healing hand on her and everyone for their support and prayers.
