They removed Kaelyn's breathing tube at about 5 PM today. She is breathing on her own and doing pretty well. She did need a blood transfusion this evening her hematocrit was at 17, which is very low. She is having a little excess drainage from her site that is causing her hematocrit to drop a bit. The surgeons are going to take a look at that, but they believe it is probably just from the blood thinners that she is on. It will take them a little bit to discover the perfect balance of the thinners to put her on.
Other than those minor things, she is doing very well. The nurses keep commenting on how well she is doing in comparison to other liver transplant patients, so that is keeping our spirits up.
I will write later.
