Day 26, ICU

Saturday 8:30 AM Joni is awakening on her own, trying to communicate with her hands and trying to talk over the vent tube. She lets us know if she is having pain and getting pain meds every 3-4 hours. Her vital signs are stable, labs look good, & great results all around. They are trying to get a feeding tube in her stomach but there was a problem last night advancing the tube. Overall very happy with her progress. They said yesterday that she will stay intubated for 24-72 hours but we should know more when the Transplant MD stops by hopefully today or tomorrow. Keep you posted with any changes!
