Not many people can say that they have an "Uncle Buck"This has been such a great week. Kate was able to come off the vent on Tuesday and transition to CPAP. She has done so great. I think she is just happy to FINALLY get that tube out of her. For the first couple of days she was off the vent, she was just on straight CPAP. The last few days, she has been able to come off for a few hours on a high-flow nasal canula. She really likes the break. I had to laugh though.....I got to the hospital this morning and the queen was on her throne.......(aka Kate in a chair in her bed). It was the funniest thing I have ever seen! She is still pretty weak, so it's good for her to be able to change positions. She is so sweet and is such a little trooper. Here are a few things Kate loves:
*When mommy reads her favorite book, The Jester has lost his Jingle
*Having her chin tickled
*Being able to look at Mr. Froggy
*Giving high-fives to Steve, her respiratory therapist (with a little help from Steve)
*Blowing bubbles with her CPAP mask

I am happy to hear she is doing better! She is such a tough, little girl--I have heard she gets this from you (Matt's fmaily has told me some funny stories of you when you were little!)
Hey Girl!! Way to go Katerbug!! We love you and I can't wait to come see you this week! Keep getting stronger!
Good to hear that Kate is making improvements! How are you holding up? Hang in there!
Sounds like things are going much better. Good to hear.
Yeah!! Always glad for a little good news. Hopefully she will be coming home soon. Loves and prayers!!
It is good to hear that Kate is doing better, hopefully she will be home soon. We really want to try and get together soon, so give us a call and lets plan something, even if it is just stopping by for dinner on the way to the hospital.
That's great that Kate is doing better. It was so good to see you this weekend!
And, is her favorite book a sequel to "The JEFFSTER has lost his jingle?" ha ha
