Recovering

Hello Everyone

 

Just returned from Andrea's room.  She has been under very light sedation since last night and has been caching up on much needed rest.  Sedation is light enough that she wakes up occasionally and is awake for a few minutes and fairly alert.  Tonight I couldn't understand what she wanted, she is still intubated and can't speak, so I offered her my notebook and pen and she tried to write out her request, so she was awake enough for that.  Hopefully tomorrow they can take out her breathing tube again.  Her blood pressure has improved and they have started weaning off some meds.  Her oxy sats are good again, her pump is working well too.  Doctors are not sure what happened yesterday, except that she is so weak that she had some stomach  contents go down her bronchial tubes, which was just enough to push her over the edge.  They don't think her gut issue is too serious, because if it was, she should have some serious infections etc.  Hoping tomorrow's progess will be in the right direction and that she will slowly regain some strength.  We stayed at the hospital last night, so we are very tired, hope we can get a good night's rest.  Thanks for all the fervent prayers on her and our behalf.
