Today was a day of good news! When I walked into Nancy's room at 12:30 for visiting hours I was greeted by the nurse telling me they were going to try and remove the respirator. About 10 minutes later the respiratory therapist came in to remove it. They put her on an oxygen mask. Her blood oxygen level continued to be good with minor drops that she could correct by taking deep breaths. I left at 2:30 when visiting hours were over.
When I returned at 4:00 they had removed the feeding tube. More reason to celebrate. The cardiologist was in and they change one of the heart meds from IV to pill. More reason to celebrate. She continued to be on the oxygen mask. I left at 6:00 when visiting hours were over.
When I returned at 7:30. They had removed the oxygen mask and replaced it with the little things in the nose and she was eating jello and drinking juice. More reason to celebrate.
I am feeling particularly good tonight. Overall this has been a good day for us. Mark, however, continues to be without power or AC. He and the cats are trying to stay cool but it is not easy. He is my rock through all of this and I thank God every day for him. Thank you Honey!
Nancy still needs many many prayers. She is still in the ICU and will be for a while. She still has a blood clot in her leg that is blocking the blood flow. However, this afternoon the nurse heard blood flow lower than they have before. Please continue to pray that the blockage will break up so blood will once again flow the her lower right leg.
Thanks again for all of your prayers and support.
