The Pulmonologist came up with a tentative plan today: He hasn't checked with any of the other doctors, so this might be pretty preliminary:
Here's the tentative plan:
Not everyone has agreed to this, but it is the most supportive plan with lots of resources for Cindy to help her on her way to a full recovery.

Here's the tentative plan:
- If she can maintain or improve her breathing, a trachea will be inserted in the next day or two.
- Cindy will be transferred to Kindred to be weaned from trachea
- After she is weaned, they will NOT remove the trachea, but close it up and leave it in.
- Cindy will be transferred to a SubQ (rehab) for general recovery including physical therapy, nutrition, and not sure what else.
- Depending on how Cindy is doing, she will either go home or be transferred back to John Muir Hospital for surgery to remove her hernia
- If Cindy goes home, she would probably have the surgery done within the next 3 months
