progress on track

The doctors and nurses feel Cosima's progress is on track in relationship to her injuries. We would all like it to much quicker of course but good to hear she on track so far.

They took out the central line yesterday but have reinserted one back in her chest again today. This is so she can continue to receive fluids and pain medication and the lines in her arms can't quite handle all that she needs to receive at this point.

She also has a blood pressure line in her wrist now so they can continually monitor her blood pressure. Her bruised lung is affecting her breathing a bit and is part of the reason she is still on the ventilator. Most of the day she has been pretty sedated so her blood pressure and pulse have been good.

It has been a calm day even with all the activity of line changes, dressing changes, and xrays. The wound on her right arm where the wound vac is has been healing well. Cosima has nodded in response to some of our questions and has said nodded yes when asked if she was comfortable.
