During the night Cathy's blood oxygen saturation started to drop. For a few hours she was put on a low flow of oxygen - 2 liters per minute. She was back to breathing room air by 6 am. This episode was no surprise to the doctors and nurses. Her body needs to remember to breathe deeply while she is sleeping.
Early in the afternoon she went for a short walk without oxygen. She was able to make about one-quarter of a lap around the unit: out and back.
Her food intake is way up. She is eating full meals, three times a day, with protein drinks in between.
There appears to be only a couple pages left in this chapter. Cathy is looking forward to starting the next one.

Mike and I are so excited to hear about your progress, Cathy. Sounds like you'll be home for the Holidays . . . what a milestone. I want to hear how you're doing beyond the hospital. I hope David continues to post for a little while, but I'm sure you'll both busy reconstructing a life at home . . . Yippee!!
