We are getting closer and closer to getting out of the ICU. She got the drain tubes out today. They have been trying to take her off of the respirator by doing some tests of turning the machine off and letting her breath on her own. They think that tomorrow or the next day they should be able to take her off the respirator. Then it usually takes a day or so after taking her off of the respirator for her to leave the ICU. Hopefully by the end of the week she will be in a regular room.
She is doing better and better each day. She is back to normal on the diapers. She still blows out of her diapers. They are giving her more and more food through her tube to the intestines. Hopefully when she gets home she will learn how to eat normal quickly.
I will be here a few days giving Janene a break. We want to be here as much as we can while she is starting to wake up and recognize who is around her. We thank all of you that have been helping us to make it so that we can be here as much as we can. Thank you all.
Love, Brian

Brian,
ReplyDeleteThis is way good news. I am sooooo thankful that Lydia is making steps each day in the right direction. That is so good to hear that she may be off the respirator soon. That is wonderful. I just think about you and Janene sitting up there in the hospital, day in and day out, being there for Lydia. I am sure it gets so hard to wait and and wait for her to be well again and go home. I don't want to sound redundant but you are such a great Dad and handling this so very well. I don't feel I have done anything for you guys, but I am not sure what I could do. So, I keep praying and having hope. HOPE is key.
We love you guys too.
