millwright63 Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Doc is gonna begin weaning her off the vent tomorrow morning. Expecting that to go well. She's had another good day today and baby is home now, so things are looking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaisu Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Excellent! what a trial you have been through. Be sure to take care of yourself. As the initial crisis passes, often the emotions and the stress of it all catch up with you. Thank you for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millwright63 Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Laura was taken off the vent this morning. Doc and respiratory therapist did a spontaneous breathing trial and she passed with flying colours. She was put on CPAP and extubated about 30 min's later. She's doing well...aside from a very hoarse voice, sore throat, and being tired and hungry....lol....She's slept most of the day so far, but doc says that's normal. Her SATS are remaining over 90% and I can finally breathe now. Every day should bring more improvement and with any luck she'll be home in a couple days.

Kaisu Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Whew... thank goodness. It is what I expected, but there is no question that status asthmaticus is life threatening. She received the proper care and her health and age were working for her. Everybody rest now. Thank you so much for the terrific news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B the EMT Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I'll stay on a low level of alert, possibly unneeded, until she posts on her own here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JET EMT Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Thanks "Mr. Cheeky" For the updates, and the good news, One positive that has come from all that you have been through, it seems that you have become a resident of the City, EMT or not. Welcome! Still praying for complete recovery, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
