A breath of fresh (cough, cough, hospital) air!

Kenzie has been removed from the ventilator and breathing just fine on her own!  That was the biggest post-operative hurdle.  We were told it could have been 24 to 48 hours on the ventilator.  When the tube came out she looked me in the eye and said "mama" which caused the mommy waterworks to flood over.  Relief, anxiety, guilt, concern, agony, exhilaration all rolled into one little word "mama"!
