We are obviously tardy in posting for yesterday. It likely will come as no surprise to anyone (except us) that yesterday evening we finally "crashed."
Caitlin was so uncomfortable and restless yesterday morning that her nurses declared a "quiet day." (They probably should have extended that rule to us also, but it's doubtful we'd have been able to process such good advice...). She was heavily sedated to give her some ease from coughing spells (the pneumonia) and the whole confusing, frustrating ordeal she's undergone.
Good things: Her neck brace was removed because the MRI happily reconfirmed no neck injury. She was bathed and groomed, and we hope that -- overall -- she got some small relief.
Still no sutures or removal of ventilator, but we're told she's relying less now on latter.
Patience has never been one of our nuclear family's virtues, but we're progressing, we think...

We start every day thinking about Caitlin and you all and praying for her. She is on our minds throughout the day. Clint has asked that she be placed on the prayer list of VOA at the national level.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can all get some rest as well. Take care my dear friends. David Cheveallier
You guys definitely need to be taking care of yourselves and getting plenty of rest! Sounds like Caitlyn is doing well under the circumstances, and is in good hands.
ReplyDeleteListen to the nurses. Sometimes they are very level-headed individuals. ☺
That square up there is supposed to be a smiley face. :)
