My mother-in-law has been taken off the ventilator! YAY! The tube was removed yesterday afternoon. She is still in ICU, but making progress. She's giving the staff a run for their money, I can tell you that....as soon as the tube was out she told us she was ready to go home. I told her she has to get better first. My father-in-law told me that she was trying to get out of bed. They gave her something to make her rest. Hopefully she'll be a little more calm today and will soon be out of ICU.
Thank you for all of the thoughts and prayers. She still has a long recovery, but I think the hardest part for her will be trying to stop smoking. Please continue to pray for her. As a former smoker, I know the power of that addiction. Even though the nicotine will be out of her system when she comes home, it will still be a struggle for her. I just hope she tries her best.
I pray that she will get to watch her grandsons grow up.
I will update again with any changes. Thanks again!

What wonderful news!! I'm continuing to pray for all of you and that your MIL will be able to stay nicotine free. I, too, know how hard it is.
