I saw Amber yesterday (Thursday) she was all covered up. The nurse said it was cold at the place her MRI was so they were trying to keep her warm with this thing. It's a tube that looks like your dryer vent, it's attached to two plastic like tube bags that go around Amber. The first tube sends warm air into the other two tubes. Then they put blankets over her to keep her whole body warm. It was weird to walk in on a bed with blankets. I told them to leave her mouth and nose open to fresh air, they said ok but that she was breathing through breathing tube so it was not a problem to have the blankets over her... I thought it was a problem.
Today, they said she has been breathing on her own with only pressure support from ventilator. They stop feeding her this morning with plans to extubate later on today. I pray the Lord can keep her strong and that this extubation is a success.
When you pray for Amber today and every time please see her without all her wires and at home well. It's hard to think of her without everything so I've added these pictures from home and hospital when she was with the least amount of wires. Thank you so much...

Jessie,
ReplyDeleteI will pray that the hands that touch Amber are only skilled and compassionate and that she is off the ventilator,IV pumps,monitors,heating blankets...etc. and home where she belongs soon.
