1 year on the Vent

Celebrating 1 year that Emma has been on her vent. June 8th 2005-June 8 2006 and still counting the days until she gets rid of it.

Its a bitter sweet anniversary, on one hand her vent has saved her life and allowed her to be home with us instead of in intensive care somewhere. On the other hand she is still breathing with help of her ventilator and I never thought a year later she would still be on it. She can breathe without it I would say 98% of the time, but needs it she sleeps because that is when she stops breathing for herself. Like I said in an earlier post I am hoping we can talk the doctor into letting her wean off of it some. I will keep you updated on how that goes.

What a diffrence a year has made, she is bigger, stronger, and by the grace of God still with us today. She is even more beautiful that she was a year ago if that is possible. She is such a blessing to our family.
