When we went to see Ali today, Jodi started to touch her hand with her finger. Ali began to squeeze her finger and pulled it to her mouth. We told the nurse it looked like she is trying to suck her thumb.
The nurse said she may be ready for a pacifier... she was.
She pulled out a small pacifier and placed it in her mouth, and Ali immediately began to suck on it...hard. If you also look, they have taken her off the tube to her mouth from the ventilator, she is now breathing on her own.This may change if her lungs get tired, but they were impressed that she has been able to come off of it already.

We also left her with a friend (the pink teddy bear) for company.
Jodi and Adam-
