Tracheotomy

Mom had her Tracheotomy. No problems from surgery. Dad and I are both in Vancouver

Tracheotomy tomorrow

mom is going to have a Tracheotomy tomorrow. She's not ready to come of the ventilator however if they keep her on it there's a good chance they'll damage her vocal cords.

Dad's with mom

Dad's with mom in St. Pauls. I'm going down later. No big changes, mom has a bit of a fever.

Back on Ventilator

Mom is back on the Ventilator, Dad called early this morning to let me know. This was not unexpected. There's always a chance that someone will go back if things don't quite workout

Off Ventilator

Talked to Dad, said Mom is off the ventilator. They are watching her carfully, if there is any negitive changes they will put her back on.
