It's Out!
They extubated Maggie at 8:35 this morning! Her initial blood gases are good, so she's passed the first step. The whole day will be a big test to be sure that her airway stays open. Whitney held Maggie a bit, but it seemed a little too soon. She's floppy, weak, and not feeling well. She's having some steady nausea--maybe some initial signs of withdrawal. It's gonna be an intense day, so keep praying for Maggie.

What a mighty God we serve!!!and what a strong little warrior you have. Behind all the tubes and monitors is a little princess with a very strong will to live and she ain't done yet..not by a long shot. We rejoice with you Bixlers, and we continue to pray for smooth transitions back to health for you all. Praise God!!!

Way to go Maggie!!! :) You have made us all so proud. We prayed and prayed for you and.....you pulled through! Hang tough little one and we will pray that you start to feel better soon and not have anymore belly aches.
Seeing you hold Maggie...Whitney, brings tears to my eyes. What an awesome ~Mommy & Daughter~ picture!
This is one picture to cherish forever.
And Dear Andy...I am so happy for you and your gorgeous daughter! I'm sure you and Whitney were more then overjoyed this morning! Maggie is getting so tall. And she is such a cutie-pie. Thanks so very much for the pictures. They are as precious as Maggie!
We will continue to pray for Maggie to get stronger and stronger. We will ask God for Maggie's doctor's to continue doing a GREAT JOB! And for the guidance, strength and wisdom they need to get Maggie to the point where she can safely go home with you both.
~Warm Hugs~ and ~Lots Of Love~
*~*~Please give Maggie a big kiss and big hug for me~*~*
Take Great Care, Love Tina and Bill

We are praying! My husband and I have offered to donate nutritional shake meals for you and Maggie. With all my heart, I believe it will keep you strong and help with her healing. Let us know where to send them and I will put them in the mail tomorrow.
Blessing to you and your family.
