Thursday night

So Elise was extubated today around 2. She is doing really well from a respiratory standpoint. She is having some withdrawal from coming off the narcotics that where keeping her sedated, but we are giving her oral meds to help with that. She is very weak, stiff, and sore but happy to be unrestrained and extubated. She spent some time on her daddy's lap and is now sleeping. She has already taken sips of water and some meds by mouth. They have a feeding tube that goes down her nose that they will keep in until she starts eating.
