Merry Christmas Dr D,
Little update. Dar continues to get well. She is returning to her perky self.
In fact, she passed her swallow tests (applesauce,jello) and is having a video swallow test this morning to see if things have improved since the last Modified Swallow test.
When talk of sending Dar home began, I voiced my concerns enlite of our recent scare. I took it to the top at Blue Cross and I am happy to say Dar is going back to Enloe Rehab for carefull pump titration and observation. Dar will be moving to Rehab sometime today.
Yesterday late in the day I received a call and learned that Dr Val had replaced Dar's trach with a Jackson #4 and cap. In addition she was being assisted with 2 litres of oxygen thru a nasal canula. Her "sats" were holding at 96-97 per cent and was handeling the change well. (they are following very closely with her sleep apnea and vocal cord issues in mind). This all being done with her move to rehab upcoming. .
It would be a very nice Xmas gift to Dar to be able to have some "treats" by mouth.
Both Dar and I wish you and your family a wonderfull Holiday. Merry Christmas Dr D.
Will continue to keep you posted.
Dar/Danny
