I start a new thread to save you guys from having to dig through the existing one.

She woke up last night, very agitated, and the nurse on duty can read lips. In essence, she wanted me to come and take her home. They had to sedate her again to keep her vitals in the required norms. The vitals are much more stable than they were two days ago. Her O2 saturation was temporarily notched back up to 60%, but the inhalation therapise who was quite negative three days ago is giving her a fighting chance now. She is very angry, and afraid and that means the sedation will have to continue for a while. The old "fight or flight" syndrome, I suppose.

I would say she took a baby step in the right direction, but I am still being very cautious.

I never knew that pulse and BP change so suddenly....See what I know. The nurses (I know tem all by name) told me to leave the number watching to them and ignore the monitors. I just know enough to be dangerous (basic medical training in the USCG centuries ago)

Thanks for the support for both of us. It is difficult to say just how much it means. I look forward to reading the positive comments and good thoughts. It helps a lot!!
