Matthew was weaned off the ventilator completely at 1:30 this afternoon. The first 15 minutes were frantic and extremely scary as his blood pressure and heart rate shot way up but then he settled down and relaxed. They are watching him very closely and drawing blood every 20 minutes to make sure his acid levels and blood gases stay in line. So far everything looks good.
His voice is a little raspy from the ventilator tube but we got to hear his little voice let out a soft cry for the first time in 9 days and it was beautiful.
