Jeanne (Dr. Hutchinson) pulled me out of mommy's belly

Today has been a great day! Emmie did so well overnight that the doctors pulled her 4 chest tubes and her pacer wires. They also extubated her this morning. Now we can hold and cuddle her. She is doing great as are the rest of us. Assuming no setbacks, she will be in the ICU through the weekend and then will be moved to the floor early next week. She is ahead of schedule and we appreciate her precocity.
