The highs and lows continue
Hi everyone, sorry you haven't heard from me in a while, too much to tell really. I will give the simple version for now and spare you some of the tough details.
So Pam was released from ICU last Wednesday and went back down to HSCU (Hemotology Special Care Unit). This is where transplant patients stay. She was doing pretty well for the most part and Thurs and Friday were uneventful. She was continuing to breath at a pretty high rate however. Meaning she was taking about 30-40 breaths per minute. She was getting enough O2 to her cells and she repeatedly said she was feeling fine.
On Saturday things fell apart in an instant and she was re-intubated (ventilator machine) and brought back to ICU.
After a couple of days to let things settle she is once again doing well. She actually got the breathing tube out a couple of hours ago and is resting nicely right now. It was a stressful couple of days over the weekend but we seem to back on track again.
Pam's road to recovery will be long and it will be bumpy. She is the strongest person I have ever known and she continues to amaze me (and her Doctors as well). She is getting the best care possible here and we continue to look forward to her good health in the future.
Please do not take anything you have for granted. Enjoy every moment as you never know what tomorrow might bring.

You are amazing, Troy. Pam obviously is too. Thanks for the advice. We are thinking of you. The one lucky thing is you are missing the dug up street, portolets, noise and concrete culvert joiners. We miss having you around.
Sending the best wishes for you.

You folks are always close by in my thoughts.I know you two will continue on with dignity, and surrounded by love.Miss gazing over and seeing you on the porch.Love from the Bristol way.Lauris
What Susan said...you are missing a lot of highly annoying activity on the corner...so enjoy the peace and quiet beeping IVs and other hospital noises. The lawn is all set, house plants watered, the rain took care of the raised beds and we are feeding the starter. So no worries on this end! Keep up the good work do what you've got to do to get healthy!
Lots of love, Reinhold, Pam & Edgar
