11 days on the vent...Meredith has developed a bladder infection and is running a fever and is in a little pain. The vent is on the CPAP setting which is a good thing and she is maintaining 90-97% O2...they are still giving her Levafed to keep her, normally low blood pressure, up...she was a little alert this afternoon and gagging on the tube...if she isn't weaned off the vent by the end of the week, they will do a tracheostomy and place a peg in her side to feed her...please pray that it does not come to this...even though they say that it is easier to wean from the trach...
thanks for all your prayers..
