It was a rough start after my extended intubation, it was very difficult not to focus on being awake and trying not to pull out tube. I really had to pray like crazy. And after I had trouble swallowing and had to have a tube placed down my throat. That is highly uncomfortable and irritating and made attempting swallowing more tricky. I'm doing esophageal strengthening exercises but praise God I got the tube out a few hrs ago and boy that feels sooooooooo much better. My nurse also washed my hair today-Elise is a rockstar!
I don't have much of an appetite so just gotta force myself. The puréed eggs this AM had the consistency of frosting-- yuck! I enjoyed my peaches tho!
Keep praying for daily recovery and hopefully I can get a chest tube out within the next 24hrs!
We can't do this without you and am so grateful for each and everyone of you!
Gotta get out of here, will have a repeat bronch Mon/Tues to clear out that right lung.
Love you!
Keep on getting better and better Joyce prayers are on your side,,,
