Lydia hospital day 47

Her lungs are much better than before but still not healed. She appeared not to like the CPAP last night and did better just breathing oxygenated air by herself. However, her lungs are a little better aerated today. So the docs are going to mull it over and decide whether or not to keep trying CPAP at night. Otherwise she is eating regular food, has a slight action tremor, and is playing and signing when awake. They are gradually tapering her oral morphine and lorazepam. Most likely she’ll be out of the ICU in the next few days.
