We were surprised when we got to the Hospital today to find that Savannah was no longer on the ventilator and doing well! Then while we sat there with Savannah they took Charlton off the ventilator too! Charltons transition was really scary and he needed to be bagged but he seems to have calmed down now. Dr's say the next 48 hours will be a huge test and struggle to see if they can remain off the ventilators. What they are on now is called C.P.A.P. (continuous positive air pressure). They are getting oxygen through their noses but now they have to do the breathing. Now they don't have anything obstructing their vocal chords so they can cry if they want to, I haven't heard them cry yet. Other than that they are going to try to leave Charlton alone until Friday and I think Savannah is having some blood work done around 2 pm today.
