Oxygen saturation levels are still low so they will keep the C-Pap on.
Without the C-Pap her levels are in the low 80's.
There is not a need for surgery at this time. Her diaphragm is not
paralyzed - which is great news. They think it may have been the nerve
that operates the diaphragm which was nicked or stretched during
surgery. This will hopefully heal itself. Her right lung is partially
collapsed. They will keep her on the C-Pap to help her lung get
stronger.
There is good news. They are removing one of her chest tubes and the
pacer wires from her heart. They are also removing the femoral arc
line.
They are keeping her quiet and sedated today, Jason and Nikki have had a pretty rough morning but are doing better now...If it is not bad enough to have to go through this but to do it on zero sleep makes it even worse...
Thanks Denise for the update... I think we can all breath a bit easier now...
