Vickie had her trach plugged to breathe on her own,in the morning and evening for 15 minutes each time and did great!! Her oxygen level stayed perfect! She seems to be thinking a lot about her situation and needs extra encouragement and to be reassured that with hard work she WILL GET MUCH BETTER!!I know she really appreciates all of her family and friends love and devotion..you can see it in her big beautiful brown eyes! We love you Vickie....(Pam )
