Speaking of......

Paula was a little active last night. They had the trach valve that helps to facilitate speech/eating/drinking in from 6:30 to 10:00. Her O2 levels held steady. Several times when I would talk to Paula, she would make noises as if responding to me. I said "Paula" several times.....and she would make one sound each time....then when I told her I loved her, she made quite a few sounds.

They changed her trach out, reducing the size from either an 8 or 10mm to a 6mm......she did well during the procedure.

The nurse said that one time during late Monday night or early Tuesday morning, they walked by Paula's bed and although she was restrained.....she was siting on the side of the bed. The nurse assured me that Paula could not have fallen out of the bed by the way she was restrained. Paula has always excercised a lot, and the way she's been acting the last few days, I think she is READY to get out of that bed.....I'm praying for Paula's continued healing and safety
