Pictures from when (and after) I was extubated


This is a picture of Dr. Engle putting my CPAP on for the first time. Funny looking isn't it?



Here I am free of all of my tubes! It didn't last long though.



Whoa dude! Here I am all bright eyed after they finished putting on my CPAP.



I was a little cranky...



When you've had a tube in your mouth for 3 1/2 months...you just can't get used to it not being there...or maybe I just ate a lemon?



Really not happy here.



Here they are blowing oxygen in my face while they change me over to the CPAP



Psssst!



Here is a picture of Dr. Engle removing the tape that held my ventilator tube in place. With the tape off you can see my cheeks finally!
