Good Morning! Good news .. Joyce was taken off the ventilator around 9pm last night. Tony was able to remain in the ICU until almost 10pm. Joyce was doing much better and was delighted to have that out of her throat! Tony and her talked for awhile. Tony returned to the hotel in much better spirits.
I forgot to mention yesterday, the thrill Jan (Joyce's Mom) got when she went to see Joyce for the first time in the ICU. She couldn't stop staring at the heart monitor. The heart rthym was perfect .. really looked beautiful!
We can't get to see Joyce until after 11am today. I'm sure she will be much improved from yesterday.

Thanks for keeping this blog updated! Tell Joyce we all LOVE her here at Banneker and can't wait till she is home! Pam Wells
HAPPY is the word for today !!
I know just how you felt ,Jan and Art; felt the same way when my daughter was in hospital and the monitors were telling a story of her recovery.
GOD answers our prayers in HIS own time.

Glad to hear you are off the ventilator, Joyce! Small steps at a time! I, too, know how hard it is to make you rest and relax......whenever i would talk to you on the phone, or see you, you were always saying how late you were up doing this and doing that. Now is the time to take it easy so you can get back to being your busy self with Ashley and Tony and your great big perfect heartbeat! Luv ya', restnow lady!
