8:27 am
Today. still on pressurized masked called cpap. Blood gas levels are better today than yesterday. Still not able to breathe on her own. Her new lungs haven't quite woken up yet and her body not used to them yet this is part of her breathing problem. She still breathes like she gasping for air and breathing twice as fast as normal. Doctors are saying this is understandable due how big a surgery she went through.
9:11 am
They are stongly considering putting her back on the ventilator until her breathing pattern gets better because now it very tiring for her to breathe this way through the pressure mask. She struggling to take deep breaths. Doctors feel she should be breathing better after a day or two back on ventilator.

She back on the ventilator wow she looks way more comfortable now. Also sleeping
9:43 am
Still on ventilator hoping ventilator will train her body how to take deep breaths. Jane seems to not be able or not know how to take deep breaths. She needs to take deep breaths in order to make use of her new lungs. When she is sleeping it is better but when she is awake she tends to take quick short breaths like she is hyperventilating. Seems like she is getting slowly better
