Maddie update from Heather's dad

Another good 24 hours for Maddie! She's completely off all blood pressure and pain medications. The oxygen administered through her ventilator has now been reduced to the minimum level. Madeline is alert and opening her eyes a lot more now. Heather & Mike were allowed to bathe Maddie for the first time. They are very much looking forward to having her ventilator removed so they can hold Maddie much more. Right now the medical staff has to remove all of her connections and then re-attach them in order for Heather to hold Maddie. Needless to say that is labor intensive and time consuming so it has only happened once so far. Kirk
