The Ventilator's Out!!!

BEST NEWS WE'VE GOTTEN! IT'S OFFICIAL....THE VENTILATOR'S OUT!!!!!!

Diane was in the room for it and this is how it went:

The respiratory guy/gal told Scott what was going to happen and told him to cough a couple times. He coughed and up it went. Then they told him that he probably wouldn't be able to talk right away but asked him to say, 'hi'. And guess what???????

He did! Diane said it was raspy but I don't care. He said it!

This is so great and lets all just cross our fingers that it gets to stay out! Forever!!

Also, Scott had an angiogram today. First one since right before surgery and that one was only on his right side. Diane hadn't talked to the surgeons yet, so I'll probably wait to post more on that later. But, they had said that if they found an anuerysm, they'd fix it right away, so no anuerysm (unconfirmed news by me here). :) Let's celebrate this milestone and pray for many more!
