So, I owe yall an update.
So she bit her tongue really bad in the fall and it was all swollen up. So bad that she had to have a tube and ventilator. They were hoping it would go down and they could take those out and it has gone down, but not enough so they took her in for a tracheotomy this morning (ow). I have not heard anything since from Empress (She is only updating twice a day or less) so I assume it went ok. She has been doing pretty well other than that and is pretty alert and awake when she is not out from the drugs. Mostly sleeping a lot with the drug IV drip (mmmmmmmm eh? what?). What I heard yesterday was that if they had to do the Trach (which they did) then the time frame for her going home is next Saturday perhaps. They could not be sure about and neural issues with her being able to talk (no tube) and answer questions for a 'full work up'. So now we will start to know more. My older sister went out and on Tuesday, My brother gets out there today, we go Saturday, there are already a slew of aunts and a cousin or two there or have been there. And of course dad and Empress are there and not getting nearly enough rest these days. So prayers for the tongue , the throat and all concerned would be most appreciated. Sorry for not posting much. I mostly FR at work (as you may know) and since that has been really busy this week I have not been around much. She had had a tube in for drainage of her ribs but that got out yesterday so I guess those are doing ok.Over all not too bad. I will let you know more as we do.
