Today Gabriella was placed on a new ventilator. This ventilator gives her a more natural breathing pattern and allows her to breath on her own. The other one gave her up to 80 small puffs of air per minute. It was pretty abrasive. She does have a partially collapsed left lung. This should not have any long term effects, but will take some time for her to recover from this. Her progression has slowed, but we are positive that she will start to improve once again.
Gabriella's support group: The tower of green lights are all of her medications that are keeping her alive. The monitor to the top left, measures her heart rate, pulse, something else, and blood oxygen saturation.
We spend a lot of time in here.
Glad she's doing well on the new machine. Sure do love you guys. Hopefully we can meet up there sometime this week.
ReplyDeleteShe sure is a doll. So thankful she is doing better, little by little. Every day is a blessing and closer to her getting fully recovered. Uncle John says she looks like her dad. Hope you both are getting your needed rest and recovery too.
