Very stable right now.  Remarkably, Mom has continued to breathe completely on her own, without assistance, albeit with very high oxygen flow to her trach. She didn’t get too tired to be able to keep her blood oxygen saturation up.

She hasn’t had any neurological changes, positive or negative. She opens her eyes when she is irritated by someone or something, like being repositioned or having her mouth swabbed.

Her blood count has fallen a couple of times during the last ten days, requiring two blood transfusions, including yesterday morning.  We will need to find out why that is happening.
