Today has been a good day. I just talked with Trent a few minutes ago for the second time.
This afternoon, Haley went in for an angiogram. The test injected dye to flow through the blood vessels in her face to make sure blood is flowing as it should. The flow is good in everything they were looking at. Trent's not sure exactly if that means blood is flowing to brain or face or what, but he does know the doctor's are pleased with it. During this test, the ventilator was turned off briefly, and Haley was breathing on her own! This is such a great sign. Her nurse this evening seems to think the ventilator will come out soon and chances of her needing a tracheotomy after the ventilator is removed are reducing! Again, another great sign.
Haley rolled on her side and asked Trent to scratch her back. She wrote "starving" on the notepad tonight, so the nurse was going to put more food in the feeding tube.
Brad and I were on our way to see her tonight, but silly me locked the keys in the house. We realized just before leaving and the locksmith took a while, so we missed seeing her tonight, but that's ok. I'll take this good news from Trent for now!
One of Haley's closest pals, Liz, that was her rock while she lived in IL is driving in tomorrow to spend the weekend in Memphis. We will be there with her tomorrow night, so she will be sure to receive tons of friend love. We'll get great updates from Liz while she's here this weekend and pass along to you all.
Lastly, I sent Aubrey's email about the Prayer quilt to Trent and Myra. Trent described it as awesome and is very grateful. I can't wait to find just the right verse for it.
I'll send another update tomorrow after visiting at 9:00pm.
Good night,
Christie
