Christmas Eve
Well here it is Christmas eve again and we are spending the second one in the hospital here. O well somehow this too shall pass. Andrea had an okay day, no huge improvements, but a few small ones. Her trache was capped for 6 hours today, meaning that she was getting some oxygen from nasal prongs, but she was also using room air naturally. After 6 hours she was very tired and asked for ventilation support again. Her TPN, intravenous nutrition was discontinued today, as now all her nutritional needs are being given via the nose tube, so far her stomach seems to be tolerating that alright. Hopefully now her bilirubin number will come down, as TPN is tough on the liver. She also sat on the edge of her bed for 10 minutes again and did not seem as weak as she has been. O yes, with her trache plugged she was able to whisper to us too. They are giving her a mild sleep aid and she seems to be sorting out her days and nights alittle better. It is late so I will try to post again tomorrow night.
Goodnight, Maynard
