Vicki has continued to progress and it is scheduled for the trach to be removed today! They are going to place a bandage over the incision in her neck and that will allow her to vocalize her words. They were going to do the "button" but decided to go ahead and remove everything! We can't wait to hear her voice! She continues to eat good and gain strength (in small amounts). If things continue to go well it looks like she'll be released from the hospital by the end of the week or the beginning of next week! Vicki's birthday is Saturday...what a wonderful birthday present that would be for her!
Our family continues to pull together and provide strength for one another as well as for Vicki. Things won't be "easy" once she gets home, but we'll do what it takes to help her progress. She isn't eligible for a rehab hospital until she can bare weight on her legs so that is still going to be several months. She'll also be going back in the hospital in the near future for another surgery to remove some pins from her arm and ankle.
We'll keep you posted! We are so thankful for each of you and continue to be humbled by your love and support!

The trach is out!
What a thrill it was to our family.
Yes, we all cried. One more wonderful blessing from Heavenly Father. Holly called me and ask me to wait a minute and the next thing I knew it was Vicki's voice.
My heart is still so full tonight,but my thoughts are still with people that are suffering from loss of loved ones such as Erin Page Family, and many others.
I want to thank all of you for what you have done for us, and thank Heavenly Father for a second chance with Vicki our sweet wonderful daughter. Also thank my children for being there for Vicki all the way and we will continue to do for her as is needed.
May Heavenly Father bless you as we have been blessed. MOM
I'm so excited to hear that Vicki is doing better. And to hear that she might be coming home. That's wonderful news.
