Weaning




Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Emma is doing quite well right now. The doctors have been weaning her ventilator settings and they think they may even be able to take her completely off the ventilator. She would still have the trach to keep her airway open. They have been testing it an hour at a time to see how she does. So far, she has had no problems. The ENT doctors are satisfied with her new trach and said they won’t need to see her anymore until the trach comes out unless there is a problem. If things continue to go smoothly, they think we might be able to go back to Mission in a couple weeks. Here is a new picture of her from this weekend. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. We have a lot to be thankful for.
