My mother in law who is a vent protocol survivor was on the mend and was killing it on the rehab front (she was up and walking around, getting dressed, the works, almost on the verge of coming home) when she managed to get sick with a stomach bug and was reinfected with aspirational pneumonia yesterday. She's been submitted to ICU with high CO2 levels. Different facility this time and the docs are doing everything to keep her off the ventilator. She's been seeing her CO2 levels drop a bit in the last few hours, but she's got a long haul again. You pedes did it the last time with the power of prayer and I'm asking for help once again.
Thanks!
Love you guys!
Rusty...
Is there an update? I'm still praying that God heals her and he gives you and your family strength and wisdom during this time.
She wasn't able to get her CO2 levels down last night, so at 3am they intubated her. They are doing a culture on her lungs this morning to see what kind of bacteria they are dealing with. Don't know much more than that right now. Gonna be a long haul now that she's on the vent again.
Thanks for the update. What is her first name so I can personalize my prayers, rather than just "Rusty's MIL?"
It's Maria. Thank you!
