breathing tube is out

Today was a good day for mom. The breathing tube came out again tonight. She is doing well and is very happy that it is out. I went and visited her this afternoon, before the breathing tube was out. She was very awake and in pretty good spirits. She is getting really good at mouthing words so we were able to have quite a good conversation. They had told her that they were hoping the tube would come out and she was really excited to tell me. I thought that she looked better today than she has this whole time. Hopefully, now that her lungs are cleared out more she will be able to breathe more easily on her own this time. We are very grateful today and hope that things continue to move in a positive direction.
