Breathing on her own all day

Britney was breathing on her own with just oxygen over her trach for 12 and 1/2 hours today. The more she breathes on her own the faster the air leak in her left lung will heal. She did amazing. Her oxygen saturations stayed near 100% all day. She got really tired near the end and got put back on pressure support ventilator for the night to rest. She fell asleep soon after they put her back on it. She was looking the other way when I said hi to her last night. She moved her eyes and looked at me, and I put my ear phones in one of her ears and she moved her eyes all the way to the side where the ear phone was put in. She moved her hands (mostly her left) all day, and has been opening her mouth for the nurses most of the time.

Kids update.
3 of Britney's sisters are here for the next 2 weeks. Mckenzie, Jessah, and Arielle. The kids are having a blast with them. They have been playing with some friends a few days a week. They went swimming today at our pool and had a great time. Vera is turning 3 on Saturday and is really excited. Anna is 15 weeks old and is growing a ton. She is a really easy baby. Vera was too until she could roll then she rolled around the house following Britney everywhere, and pulling things off shelves. We'll see what Anna does. Jonas has been having a harder time the last few days and has need a lot of one on one time. Yesterday he stayed with me at the hospital and played games with me. Tonight he read me a chapter of one of his books.
