Today physical therapy was harder for her. Perhaps she is tired from yesterday she kept dozing off. Was not to interested in listening to the therapists who said they will come back tomorrow. She did sit up in a chair today. For almost 3 hours. Here breathing number are great but still on ventilator.
She had a slight fever in the morning which went away. They are running all sorts of test to see what is caused the fever as this maybe an infection which is effecting her breathing improvement. Her lungs are fine for the most part. They say her lower lungs have fluid/muck/pneumonia, which they did not tell me yesterday.
Fluid is due to an infection of some sort. This fluid is making lungs harder to work. Plan is to give her a wider range of antibiotics in a shot gun approach. They did take cultures form her lungs in the last bronchoscopy (yesterday) but it did not show anything yet. If it ever show them the infection they will know the exact type of antibiotics for her.
They fell confident that once her lower lobes clear up there will be a major improvement in her breathing. Now we wait.
