I am posting the journal entries from my sister’s CaringBridge site (http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/tracyslatoncrosson) in order to retain that documentation in our 2014 blog book. Check out the start of the series on my blog with the “My Sister” post.
A Journey of 1000 Miles Starts With a Single Step...

...but there's no rule that says it can't be a gigantic step. This morning the doctors decided Tracy was stable enough to attempt another independent breathing trial. They turned off all her sedation, and fifteen minutes later she was alert enough that they cut off the ventilator. She passed the trial with flying colors, and another fifteen minutes and they were taking out her breathing tube. She is now alert, responsive, and even asking questions. When I gave her a kiss, I got one in return. It will be a long road, but we got a tremendous head start on it this morning.
