Day 17

Cindy had a good night.  She was working very hard to be weaned off the ventilator.  It was on Spontaneous mode.  Late this morning, her heart rate and blood pressure went up.  She started to get agiated and the ventilator was adjusted to Assist mode so she could get a break.  This was just a minor set back.  Cindy slept most of the day.  Late this evening, the ventilator was reset to Spontaneous.

The doctors were talking today to try to decide if she should remain on the ventilator or do a tracheotomy.  We will be meeing with the team of doctors either Monday or Tuesday.

The nasaal feeding tube is working well.  The TPN feeding was stopped yesterday.  Her digestive system is working well.  The picture below is what Cindy has for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Sometimes she has a midnight snack from this container, too.  The picture is not upside down.  This is the way it hangs.  It is attached to the nasal tube.
