Late this evening the doctors agreed that Allison's breathing tube could come out. To us it's a milestone because she is breathing on her own---a real sign of progress. Tomorrow they will see about letting her dangle her feet off the side of the bed which also means sitting up and finding your balance.
So we are still making progress. This pace she is on is not abnormal. Many pediatric heart transplant patients spend about 10 days in ICU, some even less. But it is exciting to see each days progress.

Congratulations to Allie! I am so glad she is making great progress and is healing fast. I am praying for her. I am one of Alison Dorn's friend who goes to Allie's church. I will be waiting for the next blog about Allie. I hope she heals soon.
