Day 59
Where’s Cindy? Walking around the halls and taking a break outside in her wheelchair.
Day 58
So doctor came in this morning and told Cindy she may be going home this weekend or Tuesday of next week if he can get her Pysicsl Therapy services at home or so an out-patient. Here is Cindy all dressed and sitting outside the hospital.
Day 57
Cindy’s recovery is moving along like a speeding bullet. Her catheter and trachea were removed today (Thursday). That means she has to get out if bed to pee and she will be breathing with absolutely no support. She also won’t be able to speak for a few days while the hole from the trachea heals.
This post is coming to you from Las Vegas.
Day 56
If you look at Cindy’s picture from yesterday, you will notice that she doesn’t have her nasal tube anymore. Yippee!!!!
Check out Cindy’s Christmas decorations in her room.
Day 55
Merry Christmas!!!
Day 54
No new news to report today. Cindy continues to breath on her own, eat solid food and work with her Physical and Occupational Therapists.
This blogger is driving to Las Vegas for a few days. I will continue to post all the news that Rita sends me.
Day 53
We have some exciting news. Cindy’s trach tube was replaced by a smaller tube and then red capped. As you can see in the picture below, she is not hooked up to anything. She is breathing totally on her own with an oxygen tube in her nose. They are monitoring to see how she tolerates it. If it goes well for a week they will see if they can take out the trach.
Her nasal gastric feeding tube has been turned off and she is eating solid food.
Day 52
Yesterday Cindy walked 5 steps back and forth using a walker. She and her roommate, Cynthia, received early Christmas (see the blankets below).
Lunch was Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes. Tonight – steak and tater tots (see below). Both were very good.
Day 23
Cindy continues to improve. his morning she was anxious and curious as to what happened and what was going to happen. I explained to her the overall sequence of events over the last few weeks and the plan for the future. She is stable and is still getting weaned from the breathing machine.
Rita and Debbie usually take a 3 mile walk on the Ironhorse trail at 3 PM everyday while the ICU staff does their reports and no visitors are allowed in ICU. We haven’t been able to take our wals because we’ve been having rain and heavy winds for the last few days. Today is much nicer and we have lue skies, so we’re going for our walk today.
