Brief KMC update
2004-01-05T19:13:28Z
Spent the midday at the hospital. She's had moderate improvement overnight. They've dropped her from 100% O2 to 85% yet her O2 levels are remaining in the high 80s - low 90s range. This is a good thing because it indicates they may be able to ween her off the ventilator, eventually.
Also got to talk a bit with the staff about the recovery, that is, I asked for an idea of how the next days and weeks would run assuming all goes well. We're looking at at another week on the ventilator, maybe more (and she'll remain in an isolation ward at any rate until they are certain she is clear of influenza). After that possibly several more weeks of in-hospital recovery.
