Today they removed Jane's trach (Tracheostomy) She has had it since the first week of the transplant and was used to connect her up to the ventilator. Remember those ventilator days? Now she has been off the ventilator for almost 3 weeks and won't going back so there is no need for her have the connection in her neck. All that remains now is 6mm hole which is bandaged and will heal over in a few days.
Also today Jane walked 30 feet more in 6 minutes than last time. So slowly but surely getting stronger as we prepare for our discharge. In about 10 days. We are still working on her appetite so tube feeds can be totally stopped. Dietitian started her on Ensure drinks to help her oral calorie intake.
