oxygen assistance

Cosima is still breathing on her own during the day. We were hoping this would continue as she was just removed from the ventilator yesterday. During the evening she is still on the ventilator. She is getting 40% oxygen through her trach which is down from 50% as of yesterday. It is just giving her an extra bit of assistance right now.

She is still pretty out of it and not very responsive which is most likely due to the pneumonia. Her temperature has come down to normal ranges so that is a good step.

Preliminary reports on her skin graft show it seems to be taking. We should continue to get further updates on this but so far so good. Her staples are still in her legs and we hope these can be removed soon.

As you can imagine it has been difficult to keep up with all of the communication. We apologize to anyone who has left us a message we haven't returned yet or contacted as quickly as we would have liked too. Contacting us by email is probably the best way to get a quicker response since we are balancing all of this with our busy work schedules. Thanks for your patience.
