Britney had another great night. She was off sedation and most pain medication last night to see if she would wake up more. She had her eyes wide open for a long time and looked at us for what seemed like forever. She blinked her eyes when we asked her to multiple times. She didn't seem scared like I thought she would. She calmed down very easily when me and Casey held her hands. She was awake for a few hours then slept most of the night only waking up when she got repositioned and had a very peaceful night. She had a fever this morning (The ECMO had controlled her temperature before this) and was started on another antibiotic. Over all she is doing great considering all she has been through. Now she is scheduled for a tracheotomy on Friday. They are keeping her very comfortable and more sedated today. I don't mind posting her updates cause then I don't tell so many people the same thing so it's a lot less time intensive to keep this up. each post only takes a few minutes. And we are sleeping pretty well. Have a good day.
