Last night a kind friend stayed with Lydia so Mom and Dad could have a dinner date together. Time alone! Thank you, Shannon.
Dad got to stay the night with Lydia. (Dad secretly admits he’s glad Lydia’s room TV carried the record-setting BYU-UNM basketball game.)
Today Lydia has looked great. She’s on the ventilator only when asleep. Since this morning she’s been breathing through an “artificial nose,” a little gizmo that provides some filtering of warmth and humidity so she can breathe with just an oxygen tank and small regulator. That makes it portable enough to ride in a little buggy thing up to a rooftop garden in the hospital, with Dad, Mom, Will, Rose, Jon, and a nurse (and a battery-powered continuous pulse oximeter). This is the first day she’s felt the breeze since January. She seemed to love it.
