Karen was alert and responsive again early this morning. She had dialysis this morning and that will now put her on a Tue/Thur/Sat schedule. This afternoon, they have dialed back the assist from the ventilator so she can practice breathing more on her own (first big step to get her out of ICU). Ashley is there with her and reports that she is sleeping soundly and does not seem to be struggling to breath. Based on yesterday’s experience, I expect that later today she will again be very sleepy and probably not as responsive, but we are better prepared for that this time and won’t let this discourage us!
