25 percent support


Stronger in physical therapy today. Even on ventilator set now to 25 percent support (5cm of pressure).  

This setting is an exciting milestone as it very close not using it at all. Breathing is difficult at this setting but she has been able to keep it up all day.  During the night they will turn up the support so she can rest. 

This week they will try turning the ventilator off for short periods of time as an exercise. Jane feels very anxious when the ventilator is not running please pray for her peace of mind  during this exercise.  Attached is picture of the ventilator settings. 

She is still having fluid build up in her lungs when is making breathing difficult for her.  The consensus here is that this has to do with all excess fluid in her body and should clear up when she is able to walk again.  Thank you for all the prayers!
