Cathy spent the entire day on the Bi-Pap. We have been told that the doctors have written an order to move Cathy back up to the 7th floor. They must believe she is improving.
Cathy's hunger was back again this evening. Once again the opportunity to eat and the desire to eat are not occurring simultaneously. However, Cathy has been on the Bi-Pap enough to know how to disconnect and reconnect herself. She has been doing this to take drinks of water (and pop). She will disconnect the Bi-Pap at the trach, take her drink, swallow, then reconnect the hose to the trach. If she doesn't disconnect herself from the Bi-Pap there is a chance that she could aspirate the drink down into her lungs. Of course all this is without the approval of the nurses. Tonight she wanted to attempt this with food. I fetched a California Roll from the cafeteria and tonight Cathy ate the soft inside portions (crab and avocado) of an entire California Roll (Ummmm sushi).
Cathy is more alert tonight compared to last night. Looking back over the past several days, I'd say today was a good day.
