Tubes & Such
So, it has been 2 weeks today that we took Caitlyn in to the hospital in Taber. After two weeks much has transpired. It has been full of both heart-wrenching and heart-lifting moments. We appreciate everyone who has expressed concern, said prayers, visited, send gifts, brought over food, cleaned, shoveled, ETC!
Caitlyn had a pretty good night. I’m getting things second hand from Donna so keep that in mind
Her xrays aren’t showing what the medical staff are seeing in her oxygen levels and other numbers. Her oxygen was down to 30% (goal 21%) and her PEEPs at 6 (goal 5?). Given that she was on 100% oxygen and 16 PEEP, that’s pretty good progress. They have talked about timeline for taking out the tube and when she will move from ICU to a regular ward but we’re not holding our breath (sorry). We might be holidaying in Calgary which will be fine. Jessica gets home tomorrow from Edmonton. Tanner and I are looking forward to that.
