I will reserve the shouting until tomorrow morning, but they removed the ventilator this morning and she's doing fine on her own as of this hour.

see all the prayers and the positive thinking is working.
I bet in a week or two or three she might be going home with you

I commented in Melissa's thread on facebook this morning, but I'll tell you again, here.
I'm happy that she's taken a turn for the better. Y'all will continue to be in my prayers.

I had been holding off on announcing anything until we were sure that she had made good progress.  The ventilator was removed yesterday morning.  She has maintained all vitals without any meds, other than the anti-biotics.  She doesn't remember anything that's happened in about the last month.

She slept well last night without any issues and is cognizant of what's happening around her.  They are only allowing a little ice and small sips of water until they determine that she can swallow well and that nothing's going down the wind pipe.

2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Sometime today she will be moving out of ICU and into a less intensive care room.  Friday morning she tried to get out of bed on her own, fell face first onto an IV stand and put a big cut into her lower lip. 

Today she's been out of bed 2 times, with assistance.  She sat in the chair for about a half hour.  All numbers are looking very good and she's alert but tired.

I'm glad she's feeling better. (They tell you "don't get up" for a reason. I'm sorry that happened. :(  Tammy just said, "Ya' know... it just seems like everybody has to try that." Ill advised, but a good sign, nonetheless.)
Take care. Y'all will continue to be in our prayers.

I know all about trying to get out of a hospital bed when told not to.
Sorry to hear Mel cut her lip tho. The fact that she is trying is a good sign.

We will keep on praying!

Go Mel!!!


BTW: How are YOU feeling Charlie?

She was moved into another room from ICU about 1AM Monday morning.  For the first time, she walked about 15 feet with a walker and assisstance, today.  She's beginning to eat about half of her meals and all numbers are still good.  They're gradually reducing the percentage of oxygen concentration as well as the volume to see if they can get her down to what she was using at home. 

We're trying to find a Long Term Acute Care center extremely close to a hospital, and that knows how to manage the IV medication that we handle at home.  Nothing close or in a suitable area has been found so far.

Roger, I'm doing ok.  After about 5 straight days and nights down here, I finally felt well enough about her progress and condition that I went home last night and restocked on clothes and laundered my dirty clothes.  If she continues improvement I'll probably continue to go home every other night.

Thank you, Don.  That means so very much to us and the feeling is mutual.  Thanks to everyone for your prayers, well wishes, phone calls, cards and visits.

That's grrrreat news! Continuing improvement is a wonderful thing!

Try some Home Health Care businesses. They only use RN's.

Go Mel!!!

Still praying for you both,

Roger & Brenda

They won't release her to home health care.  She has to go to a facility, preferably inside a hospital so that if any problem arises, she can get immediate attention at any hour.  Select Medical was the target.  It's inside Crawford W. Long, but they can't manage her IV medication.  We're looking toward Athens or Gainesville or possibly at Gwinnett because she needs long term acute care (LTAC).

She walked 40 feet down the hallway, sat down and rested then returned, today.
