The attending physician from the pulmonology team said that the atelectasis is improving.
Yesterday when Cathy was put on the trach collar, it took her almost two hours to adjust and become comfortable. This morning when she was put on the trach collar she was comfortable within a few minutes.
Tomorrow Cathy is scheduled to have a swallow test. (She has taken this test four times now, she should ace it). If she 'passes' this test she will be able to start eating and drinking normal food. Of course she will have to deal with the pureed stuff at first.

Exciting news... you are progressing everyday ...
On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again...
Day 5 and making amazing improvements with each new day! You truly are a "Rock Star"! I've seen how you push through pain and incredible difficulties and you make the rest of us look like a bunch of sissies!
I do pray that the pain will be significantly relieved very soon! Just as a mother hates to see her children suffer, those of us who love you so dearly can't stand that you are in such pain.
May your swallow test be a huge success...maybe it will be pureed sushi for dinner on Monday!
Sending you a ton of love and a million healing hugs,
BonBon
