12 hours off ventilator today and walked with walker 6 feet. So she continues improve physically. This is really boosting her self confidence and reducing her fears. They dropped off bicycle peddler machine she can use while sitting in the chair to use through out the day.
The breathing plan for tonight and weekend is to be off ventilator during the day sleep during the night on ventilator to rebuild her breathing muscles.
We did have scare today when one of pulmonary doctors who we have not met yet came into our room to discuss options with us about a blood clot they found in her lungs. Jane's heart sank...I was thinking this is strange...in about a minute the doctor realized he was in the wrong room talking about someone else! Ok we can laugh about this now :)
