Hi Everyone. Mom had a tracheotomy today, which went well and without complication. She is now completely off the sedation. Geoff, Heather and I went in to see her shortly after the procedure and she was asleep. Although we were hoping she could come completely off the vent all at once, it sure is nice to see her restful and comfortable and to see her face without all the tubes down her throat - the white tape holding them in place across her face. There are no visiting hours from 3 - 4, so we took a break from the hospital but will head back there in the next few minutes. We'll post a more thorough update this evening.
Thanks, again and again, for your support.
love,
jennifer

Thinking of you here in New York (I'm your mom's cousin, you met my brother John once.)
Please give Sheryl my love when you get the chance.

We're thinking of you and sending good thoughts your way. Time slows way down in ICU and is hard to slog through, but the body heals. Keep your spirits up, Cold Lamper, DJ Little Jenny, and HBomb!
