Thank you all!

Teresa's tests show improvement every day. It takes longer to get one off the ventilator than I realized, but she did well yesterday. They want the person to breath on their own for a full day, and she only started at 4 pm yesterday. So turned it back on last night, and they will put the machine back on test mode again today, and if she does well they will remove the tubes tonight. The test mode is where she breathes on her own, but if she stops breathing for 30 seconds the machine gives her a breath to remind her. Durring the test mode they keep track of all her vitals including O2 to make sure her breathing is effective. Her tests were perfect yesterday, her O2 averaged 98% and the machine didn't need to remind her to breathe, so I think she'll do fine today when taking her off again. I just hope she rebounds mentally, she isn't showing good signs of that yet.
