Wow! Thursday PM, the family meeting with the Dr and hospice folks went well, the main issue is that my MIL was still on the vent and they couldn't get her off it. They were going to perform a tracheotomy and take it from there... didn't look good at all. Friday AM, my FIL told my MIL what was going on and swhen they took her off the ventilator, she started breating on her own and by the end of the afternoon, she was sitting up, eating lunch but not able to speak du to the swelling of her larynx from the ventilator. When Beth and I got there Friday at 7pm, she was tired, a little confused, but doing much better. According to her Dr, "there's no medical reason she should be doing as well as she is, considering her condition"!

We visited her today and she is breathing well, and receiving breathing treatments and she is a little confused, but things look much better than they did a few days ago.

Thank you for the prayers and support of all kinds! We're very thankful that she's doing as well as she is and we're taking things one day at a time.
