*No More Tube*- **Updated with Pics**

Reagan was extubated around 4:40pm Sat. and is doing great!!!  
Also, she has been fever-free for 48 hrs now!!!!!!
Here are some pics from our big day yesterday:

"Seriously people, what are we waiting on?"

"As long as we're waiting, I guess Monkey and I will take a nap"

"Dear God, can you please make these people take this breathing tube out?"

"What just happened here and where am I?"

"Aaahhhhhh, sweet relief!"

It truly was a great moment!  She is still quite sedated but we are working on trying to slowly wake her up and avoid withdrawing too badly.  We're trying to find that sweet spot!  It's definitely a work in progress but I'll take it over the breathing tube anyday!!
More thank yous:
I want to thank the LaPointe family (Arden's parents) for hooking us up with members of a local church here.  One of the members has allowed my mom and Lonny to park their RV at a storage place for free.  Now that Rod and Nolan are home we three can all fit in RMH and paying to park the RV was just an added expense.  Thank you so much to that church member for taking that off our hands for now.
Also, I want to thank the Schuhmacher family back home for letting Nolan come over and spend the day swimming so that Rod can prepare his brief that he has to give this week.  I'm sure Nolan is thankful too!  Just can't believe he's swimming today because I'm freezing in northern California.  Hopefully, we'll get back to that hot weather soon enough.
