Mom has continued to have a good day. They have begun trying to wean Mom from the ventilator little bits at a time. Mom's stats continue to improve. Mom's chest x-rays remain the same as yesterday.

Thank you again for your continued support and prayers!

Thursday February 26 & Friday February 27, 2009

Yesterday Mom continued to improve. Her vitals have been improving since she was transferred back to the original facility.

Yesterday Mom had a CT scan yesterday, the results came back clear. This has confirmed that the respiratory issues are a result to the pneumonia and shows nothing abnormal. Mom has been more alert and the Respiratory Therapist has been lowering the level of oxygen support, which means Mom is more able to breathe on her own.


Thank you all for all your support and continued prayers!

Mom was transferred to the original facility early this morning. Her vitals are stable and she has been resting quietly. Her respiration rate also has remained stable.


Thank you for your continued support and prayers!

Mom's condition took a couple of steps back today. X-rays showed that the pneumonia returned in both lungs. She has been put back under sedation to control her heart rate and blood pressure.

We have successfully initiated a transport back to the previous facility to make sure Mom's case is provided with the maximum amount of specialists and care available. Late tonight Mom will be transported back to the original hospital.


Thank you again for all your continued prayers and support!

Mom's status has not changed much since yesterday. Her heart rate and respiration rate remain elevated. We have not had the opportunity to speak with her doctors yet.


Thank you for your continued prayers and support!

Mom's vitals are all stable.  The move to the new facility has agitated mom' s respiration rate slightly.  They have placed her under sedation again to keep the respiration rate more consistent.  They ran blood gases and Mom's oxygen level appears to be good.  

Thank you all for your continued prayers and support!  We appreciate all the support you continue to provide for our family!

Mom had another quiet day today. Moms white blood cell count continued to improve today. This evening they are moving her to an acute care facility so that they can continue to wean her off of the ventilator.

So, Dad, Melissa, and I (Josh), will be moving with mom to her new facility. We will once again set up our posts, just with a different view.

We all are very thankful for your continued prayers and support!
