Update5
We had a good night overall. She is taking baby steps towards improving. She was able to wean off one of the blood pressure meds. They've lowered the "strength" of the oscillator (heavy duty ventilator) and they think they'll be able to a "regular" ventilator later today. With that, they'll be able to start the brain tests, which is where we need the prayers for a miracle, we don't know what they'll find and how much damage has been done to her poor little brain. We are trying to prepare ourselves for the worst while hoping for the best. Please let youth be on our side here.

We made it through another day! Today she switched to a regular ventilator, which is a good move. On this vent she'll be able to get an MRI, CT scan and EEG. These tests make me terribly nervous, and my mind goes through all of the possibilities often. We had Penny and Max here today and brought something of Penny's for Cici to smell/touch. It was difficult to see Penny next to Cici today - a reminder of just how sick Cici is. Overall a good day, but I'm very nervous about tomorrow.
The boys had a fun day carving pumpkins and getting tons of candy. Nico really got into the whole "stand there, look cute, try to say trick-or-treat, get loot" thing and was dragging us from house to house. I'll post a couple of pics tomorrow.
