Continuing to Heal

Madden has successfully stayed off the ventilator (breathing tube) for over 36 hours.  She is receiving less and less oxygen through her nose and will eventually be weaned off that as well.  Yesterday she had an amazing day and made drastic improvements with her breathing, today we are on a bit of a slower pace, but bottom line she is doing well and is healing at her own rate.  The next big step for Madden will be her attempt to eat without the feeding-tube.  Depending on how today goes, we will hopefully begin that process within the next couple of days.  She is definitely a tough little girl! :)
