Ventilator

Not so good news. I got a call last night around 12:15 from Mom's nurse. They said he had some problems and was put back on the ventilator. I went right over to the hospital. Details are still kind of sketchy right now. They say she just couldn't handle the breathing on her own right now and got too tired. She was resting when I got there. I was told she might not be responsive to me, but she did open her eyes, focus on me and smile. They were doing a bunch of lab work on her, getting a blood gas, started another antibiotic and said she would get a chest xray and cat scan today. When I left her around 2:30 she was sleeping (finally nobody messing with her) and was stable. No more calls in the night. They said her oxygen levels and blood gas and everything was just fine, they think she was tired. I have a meeting today at 1 (was already scheduled) and I will find out more. This is supposed to be about where she has been and where they think she is going. I'll let everyone know tonight.

Bunches of Love,
Angela
