Thread Name: Frog prince thoughts and prayers for my wife
Subject: RE: Thoughts and prayers for my wife, please
Judy was awake most of the visiting hours today, and at least as responsive. Just after I arrived she appeared to mouth something to me; I asked if she wanted to talk to me, and she nodded. But it's necessary to restrain her arms with short straps to keep her from pulling out her tubing, and she still got a tube out of her nose. She keeps twisting and sliding around in the bed and tugging at her restraints incessantly, so they have to reposition her frequently to keep her lying so she can breath well. She has breathed some with just cpap (sp?) but has mostly still been on the respirator; heart very weak, and lots of fluid in her lungs. They don't want to keep the respirator in longer than the rest of this week; they may have to consider a tracheotomy.
