nothing is normal when it comes to lung transplants

This morning Jane was feeling very nauseous. So was not able to do too much of her morning physical therapy. She has been up since 2am feeling this way. Doctors believe it has to do with all her anti rejection medications and are adjusting. Will also start to give schedule doses on anti nausea medicine. 

From being up most of the night with nausea Jane continued to be extremely tired as the day went on. Ventilator was down to 40 percent today lowest it has been. However she started having trouble breathing because she was so tired. They turned up the ventilator to give her a rest. As soon as they did  she fell fast deep asleep. Still sleeping now peacefully...most probably for the rest of the night. Tomorrow is another day and we begin again. 

They say nothing is normal when it comes to lung transplants everyone and every case is different. So I guess should not be surprised when today I had to spend some time helping the nurse shoo out a fly that had gotten into the  ICU :)
