How I spent my summer. by Vickie Shepherd

July 4th 2004 9:am

This site will replace the sporadic E-mails used to update Vickie's
progress. I will update it regularly or when there is a significant
change in her condition. As always "no news is good news"
Thanks to Mark and Heidi for the suggestion.

This morning Vic's trach was replaced, the old one leaked. This afternoon
the ventilator was shut down to just supply oxygen if needed. so she is breathing on
her own now.
They are slowly reducing her pain Med. Tonight her heart rate and breathing rate
were higher so they increased her pain med a little. Her usual cycle of fevers seem
to be subiding, which is a good sign.
