Well, Andrea had a fairly uneventful day, sat on the edge of her bed, did PT,etc. She seemed quite tired after yesterday's strenuous activities. The doctors have told us many times to expect a good day followed by one or two not so good ones. She is now off isolation, meaning that she is not considered to be contagious to others, so the nurses are not required to gown up and put on gloves every time they enter the room or do something with her. They have also discontinued all antibiotics the way I understand, her white cell count does not indicate any infection at this time. They also came in and changed her trache for one that should be easier to breathe past. The nurse that had her today has asked to look after her tomorrow also, and she is determined to get her up in a Stryker chair and get her out of the ward, just a short ride around the floor, new scenery, today just didn't work out for that. Because we are with her all the time we may not see the small improvements that happen, but those that have not seen her for awhile and know what to look for, sure do. She is getting excellent care for which we are very grateful, big new state of the art facility, large private room, top notch doctors and nurses also. It's easy to see that they love their work, and some of them have certainly taken a shine to our daughter. Time to sign off.
Regards, Maynard
