It is very late so I hope this will be short, and if you read this morning's post it is about what I had hoped to report tonight. Andrea had a tracheostomy this afternoon and some other things done while under sedation. She is still lightly sedated and will be till morning, nothing to be alarmed about, she needs the rest. tomorrow they will start weaning off her breathing support and hopefully she can soon be off support for a few hours at a time during the day, and in the not so distant future can have the trach removed. Her bilirubin went down a whole 53 points today which was very welcome news. Heart support meds are very minimal now and they hope to totally take them away soon, as her blood pressure is quite good. They restarted her tube feeds again tonight. We want to be back there very early tomorrow so it is time to sleep.
Thanks, Maynard
