Disconecting

They took as many things out of her as they could yesterday. Now that they have the PIC line in her, they took out all of the other IV's, and they took out the drain tube under her lung. She only has the PIC line and the breathing tube into her nose. They are lowering the setting on the air flow also. Her lungs are still the hold up. They have been using a tool that pounds on her chest to loosen the gunk then they suck her out. She really doesn't like a tube stuck down her nose or her mouth to suck out her lungs, but who would. Hopefully she will soon get the gunk out and stay out. It just keeps coming back. If it wouldn't they would move us out of the ICU. It is switch off day so Janene is coming home and I will go down for a few nights. Janene has been doing so good since the surgery. She is a real tough cookie. I would still be laying in bed wanting her to serve me all day long. No wonder that women were made to have babies.

  1. Yeah Lydia!!!!!!!!

    You are right Brian, a man could never endure the pain bringing a child into the world. We are quite incredible creatures that don't give ourself enough credit. Just another testament that God knew what he was doing when he created woman. LOL

    Love you guys.

  2. Oh,I am kind of laughing here, Brian. You're a funny guy. It is true about us women and having babies. :) And I know Janene IS "one tough cookie." That is true! She really is.
    It sounds so wonderful to hear she (Janene) is doing so well since her surgery. I am so thankful. I am also glad to hear Lydia is slowing getting some tubes removed. I sure hope her lungs can dry out and get clear of the gunk soon.

Spenc and Lydia enjoying some brocolli (at least the taste of it for Lydia since she just sucks out the flavor and spits it out)
