Yesterday, the breathing tube came out!! That is such a great step.
My dad was the only one who went to the hospital yesterday, so he was there with her most of the day. She is able to talk a little. Her throat is really dry and sore from the breathing tube, so she can't talk much, but a little. She was also able to talk to me and Emily on the phone. She didn't say much, other than that she loves us, but it was so wonderful to hear her voice.
She did have a bit of a rough day. Mostly she was just exhausted. They are making her work a lot harder now, making her work on her breathing and all sorts of other stuff. Plus, talking makes her really tired. There are still lots of concerns, but things are moving in the right direction.
She does know about her leg and seems to be handling it well. At one point she asked the nurses to move it for her because it was aching, and they felt like they had to tell her the truth, so they did. Right now, she just seems very grateful to be alive, so the leg is almost a minor thing to her. I am sure that she will have a harder time with it later on, but for right now, we are glad that she is ready to fight and is doing well.
