At about 8:15 PM they removed the respirator. Afton was able to come back in to the PICU right before they started. She had not seen them do this before so I was happy she made it. Lilee's first words after some dry breathing and some rough coughing was "I don't like it".
One giant tube removed and a dozen more to go! For now though breathing on her own is definitely a big step. Back to sleep for her and more waiting for us.
