The settings on Cathy's ventilator were changed to a pressure support mode. Cathy did well on this setting as long as she was awake. Whenever she would dose off a little, her breathing got shallow and her blood oxygen levels dropped. There are still a lot of drugs floating around her body keeping her a little sedated. Until these fully wear off and she is fully awake, she cannot be weened off of the ventilator. Possibly tomorrow morning.
Cathy had a bronchosopy this afternoon around 4 pm (more sedation). The doctors said everything looked real good. I was given a quick tour of the inside of her new lung. Since this was my first time seeing this I have nothing to compare it to. It was amazing. At one point I did notice something that caught my attention. I saw in very small print, at the top of the bronchial, some writing that said "Made in Colorado".
