Caitlin had a much better night with a lot fewer interruptions...
She crossed another big hurdle today.
DRUMROLL PLEASE...
They graduated her to the Jackson Trache and she now has a valve in so SHE CAN TALK!
It was so great to hear her voice to go along with her always lively facial expressions. She's resting again right now with an utterly pleased and happy look on her face.
Her room is filled with balloons, cards, e-greetings, comic books, an awesome angel figurine, and the most gorgeous flowers. It smells wonderful in here! And, Caitlin just SAID, "I love 'em!"
Thanks to all for the well wishes...it is great for her to know how loved she is!

Update @ 7:30pm: Cait can have water again and is now allowed to have a little jello, too! I don't think we've ever been so excited about jello in our lives!!!
Awesome pics!
