Cathy was not able to tolerate being on the trach collar long enough yesterday for us to attempt a stroll. She was only on the trach collar for three hours.
This afternoon she was on the trach collar for about six hours. A blood sample was drawn just before she went back on the Bi-Pap to test for blood gas levels. As of this blog posting we have not heard the results. I suspect that the CO2 is going to be a bit high and the pH a bit low. Just before being put back on the Bi-Pap, Cathy was struggling to breath and was beginning to 'be a little hard to communicate with'. She is sleeping soundly now.

David, sounds like you are a Doctor in training, predicting Cathy's blood gas levels.
Cathy rest up, you owe David a stroll...
Thinking of you everyday

Hey there Rock Star!
Six-hours on the trach collar...I can tell you're really giving it your all. Keep up the great fight, but don't forget to allow for some rest and rejuvenation too!
Love you!
