I am so ready for a fresh start!  We drove to Austin after work Friday night (Mimi was still sedated and I didn't think I could do anything here) and got to see Grandma and Aunt Casey for a few hours before bedtime.  But, Jon woke up with a fever, and with Brenda recovering from her surgery, we didn't want to take any chances getting her sick.  So, we packed up and were on the road by 11am.  He laid in bed all day while Caiden and I ran some errands then went to dinner with mom, dad, and Aunt TT.  Happy Valentine's Day!

Mimi is still sedated.  They tried removing the ventilation tube this morning and it didn't go so well.  Too early???  They took her in for a Catscan this evening and we'll find the results out in the morning.  I think they will try again with the ventilation tube Sunday as well.  If it doesn't go smoothly, I'm not sure what will happen.  Hopefully her body will be strong enough to make it.  The part of her brain effected by the blood is the "breathing section."  

My voice has started coming back, accompanied by a cough.  And, Caiden finished his last round of ear drops tonight.  Maybe we're in the clear...
