Tx Update - Day 2 - Saturday 11pm
I now have a fairly decent internet connection thanks to my very kind employers who posted me out a company SIM card so I can use my 3G data card with my laptop (it's not HSDPA but it does the job). Sorry, had to get a wee geeky bit in there.
Jac still progressing well, she was extubated this afternoon and is now only wearing an oxygen mask. Oxygen saturations are excellent, hovering around 99% - 100%. All blood gas tests are coming back great as well, this looks like a good set of puffers.
She now has the epidural in as well which is intended to block all pain from her chest in the initial
stages of her recovery. However, this wasn't working very well this afternoon and evening and she has been experiencing a fair bit of pain and discomfort, even after increasing the dose. Just as we were leaving though they repositioned her onto her back and this seemed to magically get the epidural working! Just phoned through to the room and they seem to have the pain much more under control. All she needs now is a good nights sleep.
So, the plan now is to get her out of the bed tomorrow, start getting her moving about with a view to moving out of ITU sometime in the coming days.
Heres hoping this excellent recovery can just keep on going!
Andrew
