12 hours off the ventilator seems a breeze for Jane. She has done it 4 days in a row so easily the are going to keep her off until she needs it. They are hoping she can go 24 hours. Tonight they will leave her off the ventilator when she is sleeping while keeping a close watch. We will see how it goes.
Jane was a little tired and nauseous today to do much physical therapy. She threw up for the first time today. That was several hours ago and she is still breathing well so we are pretty safe that she did not get anything down her new still fragile lungs (aspiration). Also they feel by now Jane has strong enough reflexes to pervert that going down the wrong way. They are getting her different anti nausea meds hoping they will work better.
I asked we could be moved to a corner room when on came available. And wow one of two corner came available just a few hours after I asked. We are very thankful to be there right now! Got the same size as last corner room...no lake view but a view still not too shabby. Picture attached :) And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given
