The cuff on the trachy was partially released, resulting in her 'half-drowning' in her own saliva. uznpleasant to watch as her throat was sucked dry. Eventually the stars aligned and she was given 'drying out' medication. Now there is an issue with her haemaglobin levels. Darren will sort that out in the morning.<br /><br />She is being incredibly courageous and accepting - of pain, and of indignity. My heart breaks and swells with pride at the same time. No photos today, and will have a short post in the morning. I am going to source a pillow with wings (travel pillow) to help her sleep.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550214407269277609.post-38242647601423229322011-08-06T10:59:02.145+10:002011-08-06T10:59:02.145+10:00Frazzled - perhaps.
