CPAP Be Gone!

Nadia's CPAP (respirator) was removed today at 10:00am and she will no long reed it. It was believed by all the nurses who have taken care of her that she was breathing on her own for a long time and the machine was giving her very little assistance. They removed it today and she is doing great as her oxygen level ranges from 98-100%.

Tash had a rough day but she is slowly improving. On Monday they are going to give her an immunosuppressant and we hope that will bring her better results.

This is my second day alone at the RM house. It kills me to leave the hospital each night with my wife and daughter having to stay behind.

I do not have much battery in my Macbook as my charger is in Allentown so I need to keep this short.

Thank you to everyone who is thinking of us.

Keith - thank you so much for the update. So sorry to hear about Tash's slow recovery. I know what it's like to have to be strong in the face of so much and I feel for you.

Good news about Nadia! I am glad that you are, at least, closer to them physically.

We all hold all of you in our thoughts. Take care of yourself as this is a big area in which you have control. This is very big in the CARE department for your dtr and wife.

Sending love and care - Karel
