now that the big scary machine is gone
forever we hope, the nurse cleaned her up
and now she's resting
comfortably, hopefully
she's still under heavy sedation
they decided to let her rest and heal more today
and for the rest of the evening
and maybe tomorrow, they will do the tracheostomy
tracheotomy |ˌtrākēˈätəmē| (also tracheostomy |-ˈästəmē|) noun ( pl. -mies)
an incision in the windpipe made to relieve an obstruction to breathing.
they need to get the ventilator out of her throat
lots of time there's damage to the voice box
i can't imagine what it would be like to never hear her
sweet little voice again
that would shatter my life
and living so far apart with only the phone as our lifeline
well -whew
we'll see what tomorrow brings

it's gone!
They took out the ECMO
the lung machine that helped her with her gas levels and
all the stuff that lungs do, she's doing on her own!
this machine was big, i mean really big
pumping, hissing, burping, really big and scary
now, ha ha ...it's not there anymore
everything went well and now
she no longer has those huge tubes
filled with blood sticking out of her neck
god love her
maybe later today
they'll take that damn tube out of her mouth
onward and upward
she's making progress

am update
just got back from my morning visit with acacia
she still looks terrible, but in a couple of hours
she's scheduled to have the procedure to remove her from the lung by-pass machine
this is a big monster of a machine and she has had a huge tube in her neck
well, thank god, that's coming out soon!
and then later
they are gonna take the breathing tube out of her mouth and give her a
tracheostomy, where they put the breathing tube directly into her throat
that should be much better for many reasons
so, a big day ahead
pray all goes well, and i'll report later in the day.
the statutes of the lord are right, rejoicing the heart
you can take that to the bank
