Turning the corner?

Isy had a good day today. The tube is out and she is talking some on her own although she is very short of breath and using an oxygen mask. She remains in ICU. Our prayer is that she will no longer have any coughing/bleeding. Pakka thinks she is sounding more like herself because she told him his rustling newspapers was too loud. LOL

Her chest x-ray shows she has a small pneumothorax but they are going to watch this (there is a small leak in the lung, allowing a small amnt of air to escape outside the lung). This isn't too surprising considering the need for 4 days of mechanical ventilation.
