Mom is more awake today. She nearly had her breathing tube removed. There is a test that the nurses perform that indicates that the patient is ready for extubation. Mom did not pass so they will try tomorrow. They are almost ready to remove the chest tube from her left chest. Kimberly reports that her eyes have been more open today.

Shawn received a copy of the accident report and spoke to a witness today. Evidently this witness was traveling in the opposite direction and saw everything. She remembers that the front wheels seemed to come off the van. Then the van spun and flipped about 3 times before landing in the median. This witness said debris was flying everywhere. The front wheels were evidently still on the interstate. Lastly she said the van was so smashed that it resembled a car rather than a van.
