Saturday, May 9th - Update

Mom was on high flow and off the ventilator for 6 hours before they had to switch her back. Her heart started to have premature beats which signals stress on the heart. She was also very tired and woozy. Yesterday they did 8 hours on the high flow which was too much. The doctors all agree that she is being pushed too hard and they don’t want her to be miserable. 

The new plan is to let her rest today and starting tomorrow they will do 4 hours sprints on the high flow twice a day. 

8am-12pm high flow

12pm-4pm ventilator 

4pm-8pm high flow

8pm-8am ventilator 

She will stay on the ventilator for the rest of the day today.
