Successful Extubation?

I think we might have done it! Yale was extubated today at 10:30 am and was still at holding on at 10:00 pm this evening when we left. He's crying and showing his temper, but just has a little meow for a cry because of how sore his vocal cords are from being intubated so long. No worries, he'll be shattering crystal again soon...
I'm just itching to go to sleep and wake up tomorrow so I can hold my sweetie. 24 hours under his humidity hood and he should be ready for nasal prongs....
So here are the most recent pictures.... He's really starting to look like himself today!

Great news today. He does look a little grumpy but who could blame him. What a trooper. I can hardly wait to hold him too. Please keep the prayers and good vibes coming everyone they really work. God bless you all. The doctors and nurses at Sick Kids are real miracle workers and true heroes. God bless you all. Hugs and kisses to you, Ty and Yale Tanna. I'm always thinking of you all!

Love Mom
