I am here now and found out she had a very good night. She is still doing most of the breathing on her own with the tube in yet. The doctor's haven't made their rounds yet, so will update after that to see what will happen today.
Updated 11:41am:
The doctor was in this morning and because she is doing well on her breathing with the tube, they are going to leave it in over the weekend and continue with a couple more steriod treatments. They really don't want to do a trach if they don't have to. She is not too happy, but we just keep telling her it is better this way and hopefully she understands. They did take her off all the sedation meds and are just giving her some light painkillers that will keep her comfortable.
Another good thing is that her heart rate is back to normal as of yesterday afternoon. Hopefully that will stay that way.
