day 20

Finally.

Slept like a log last night. Went to work this morning. Huge thanks to my bff Clara for coming to hang with Amanda so Ted could go to work at 11am today after spending the night here. Thanks to Cathy T. for stopping by to visit and bringing brownies and diet coke and other yummies. And …

The ‘machine’ is HERE! Woo hoo! It’s a lovely little specialized bi-pap … very quiet … very compact … tried it on Amanda and she loved it. So now we sleep with it tonight at the hospital and get the A-OK tomorrow morning from the doctor … and we’ll be home for the weekend! Okay – okay. I won’t get too excited ‘cuz ya never know what kind of snafu’s may happen but it’s looking good.

btw – her PCO2 this morning was 44.3 – normal AGAIN. Things are looking up. We still plan on a visit to the neurosurgeon – but that will be next week on an out-patient basis and after we’ve rested for a few days.

Things are looking up.
