Breaking Free

We had hoped to say goodbye to her nasal cannulas and the little bit of flow she was getting from them yesterday, but a desating "incident" Thursday night meant we had to wait one more day.  
 

This morning, we finally took them out.  Here's our sweet girl, breathing completely totally and all the way on her own, with no support whatsoever.  How we have prayed for this day!



We are slowly breaking free from the wires, tubes, and cords that are attached to her.  All that is left now is her NG feeding tube and we'll be able to go home...



Isn't it great to see these sweet cheeks with a little less tape?


We took many more photos today, but I'm tired, and so is Clara.  Here's a yawn to prove it.  More to come tomorrow...

  10. Aaaaawwwwww! The sweet smell of fresh air! Thank you God for your continued miraculous work in Clara!! She is truly a testament to your powers of healing and restoration. We lift up Penelope to you Lord and ask that you hold her in your loving arms, heal her little body as you have Clara's and comfort her parents through this scary time. We give you, honor, praise and ALL the glory!
