No new updates tonight, Evelyn is still intubated, but we are continuing to make progress toward extubation. It was noted in her chart this afternoon that if her echo looks reassuring after all the ventilator weaning, they will plan to remove her breathing tube tomorrow. I’m not holding my breath on that one… no pun intended. 
Every single day we pray to see our little girl’s eyes and hear her sweet voice again. She is doing so incredibly well considering the long week she’s had. It’s hard to believe it’s been almost 8 days now of her being intubated. This has been one of the hardest things we’ve ever gone through, and it really makes you miss and appreciate the smallest things in life.
I also want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you who has sent Evelyn care packages, cards, prayers, homemade gifts, messages, and well wishes over this last week. The amount of love surrounding our family has been overwhelming in the best way. I cannot wait for her to wake up and see all the beautiful things that have been dropped off for her. She is so deeply loved.
