Good day? Bad Day? Not Sure


I know I am really far behind. Just been feeling really mentally stressed out and had a headache for many days so I have just been taking it easy.

I will try to make this easy and uncomplicated. I am very tired, but wanted to update.
They tried to plug her trach last Friday and it didn't go so well. So here is the story....they do not think at this time she will be able to be plugged. Has something to do with her stroke. Has a big name I will tell later. So from the respiratory side they can not do anything else for her.

Ok, so we start talking where to go from here.....

Find out today that she can't go on somewhere with the NG tube in her nose, but she does not have to be at a facility for her vent. Basically I have 3 options because now she has to be somewhere they will take a trach with aerosol. Dietary is supposed to come talk to me tomorrow and her speech therapist is going to start working with her tomorrow on swallowing. I thought we might be out of here this week and now I guess not.

Another worry for me is I was extended another week here at the house on Sunday. Now they have someone wanting a room and basically I am the one to have to go. I think I should still get my week and I know I don't want to go home and leave Mom here, but I might not have a choice. That is part of my stress right now.

I am going to try to post a pic and if it works, I will have one of Mom for you tomorrow.
