We thought today would be a little more laid back but it turned out the opposite for mama as they have had to change her pick line, bandages, bedding, had her breathing without the ventilator for about an hour to slowly get her strength back and it seems like each time she falls asleep, they are coming in the room to change her medications or to check on things. Poor mama! She was able to start tube feedings and has been handling it well. Stephanie flew in today so we stayed with mama this afternoon so that my dad could run home to get his medications and try to sleep. Hopefully she'll be able to rest tonight. They have a cooling blanket under her that pumps 40 degree water to try to bring her fever down so she's been shivering all day and they are still trying to find out what is causing the fever but can't seem to find an infection anywhere. Hopefully they will get it figured out soon as that is the biggest concern right now. Once the fever is gone she can be moved to a long term acute care facility to help wean her off the ventilator and continue her care. I have the best mom I could possibly ask for!
If you are able to help with funds I'm sure they would greatly appreciate it.
