Extubated
Just a quick post from my phone (who knew you could do that?)...
About an hour ago they removed Amacker's breathing tubes. She can't talk and has an oxygen mask on her face, but she's breathing unassisted.
More to come soon!

Never knew that having you being able to breathe on your own would be such a welcome event.

I'm speechless...such a great turn!
Thx for posting Richard!
Oh, that's just wonderful news! The positive, healing (And everything else) thoughts are still being sent as hard as I can. Thank you, Richard, for letting us all know what's what.
It's about frickin' time, Amacker you lazy bum... :) (JOKING! I'm JOKING!) So glad to hear this news.
Hooray!
HOORAY!!
You have done an incredible job of keeping everyone posted on Amacker's recovery.
Three weeks ago - I followed a link provided by Neil Gaiman's page to your page...I've learned that when he points to something; you should take a look at it!
And I swear I've met her in Minnesota (or perhaps in San Fran, where I've been, briefly). I remember asking her her name - which she gave - and I replied, "Bullwinkle? Really? As a NAME?" And she patiently nodded yes.
Gotta go now - Heal on!
Best news on the internet all damn day!
Keep pulling, girl!
So Amacker is breathing on her own today. And this morning I found
a rubber chicken in the microwave. Coincidence? I think not.

It's a duck but it identifies as a chicken.
Really great news!
That's great news. I know there will be a long road ahead, but Amacker just kicks ass!
Such wonderful news! Hoooorrraaayyy, Amacker!!! You're one tough cookie & we're so happy for you and your family. ***lisa & eric w.***
There is a goddess!!! Hurray Amacker! We all can't wait to talk, talk, talk! And hug, hug, hug! (VERY gently...)
Thanks Richard, for sharing this happiest of news.
Hooray Amacker for pulling through! We know there is so much work ahead, but for now we are so very happy that you are breathing on your own.
And wow - your entire family is amazing.
We can't wait to come and visit - when you are ready - !
YES!!!!
It's so good to hear that she is showing control, even of something as basic as breathing. It is so good to hear, and I am grateful, Richard, that you thought to notify us in the middle of what must be an intensely personal moment. I am in awe of your strength.
So glad to hear the good news. Hope to hear more from The Girl Herself soon enough!
AWESOME!!! You rock. Thanks so much...this is wonderful news.
I'm ready to be there the moment I get the go-ahead from you.

Go Amacker! Woo hoo! (uh, and Allistair adds "buh buh bbbbbbbblllp", whatever that means ;P)
WOOHOO! I've been holding my breath for you, Amacker, and I'm excited, exhilarated, exuberant to exhale this ecstatic sigh of relief with you!
Amacker;
We need you back! What are we going to do without you if Mike or Holly start to go sane!
IOU one hug -- just as soon as it won't hurt....

I'm finally getting back in the loop after a bunch of crazy-ness. And this is SUCH wonderful news. (Albeit a late response.) I know that this process is painful, but OH! the joy of it being over. Keep it up Amacker!
