Today was another day of progress: three laps walking around the unit and small portions of food for lunch and supper. The oxygen concentration in the air supplied to the trach collar was reduced to 36%. This is the lowest setting the 'cool mist' contraption can supply. What's next?
A small amount of blood started to come up with her lung secretions today. We have seen this before. They are trying to suction out the secretions before they become plugs. With the more frequent suctioning, trauma may be occurring in her airway.
Cathy went for her third lap around the unit after I arrived this afternoon. Several things were immediately obvious to me: she is moving with more ease, with more confidence and without hesitations caused by pains.
