waking up is hard to do

I got here a little after 10 this morning and found Sophie doing little jabbers and chewing on the lead for the oxygen saturation sensor. They had taken her breathing tube out about 20 minutes before. Then she was babbling in a raspy, weak little way. They gave her a little sedative to make her sleepy after she started fussing and pulling on more stuff. They took a couple of IV lines out, so she looks a little more normal. And they just now removed the chest tube, which naturally she wasn't very happy about. The surgeon talked to us and said she'll probably be out of the ICU and in a regular room tomorrow.

Not sure if there'll be anything else to report today. She's doing great so far. Now they're gonna have to figure out how to keep her still for the next 4 days!
