Mid Day Update Day 3

They've started giving Stephanie breathing treatments through the trach to make her cough, which will also help her get rid of it faster. It's really painful to watch someone with a trach cough, seriously it makes me feel so bad for her. They will also start making her move around some, this will hopefully make her feel better faster in the long run, though I imagine she'll be mad about it during the therapy sessions. She's slept for most of our two visits today, apparently she didn't sleep much during the night. I also talked to Dr. Pou, she still feels things are going great. I asked about the trach size, she said it was a normal size for women, maybe a little smaller because Stephanie has a small trachea, but definitely not a pediatric tube. As always she continues to look better every time we see her, I only hope this continues. We are all still anxiously awaiting Friday's pathology reports.
