Hi Everybody! We are home!! We were supposed to be released Monday, then got bumped to Tuesday because the pulmo dr wanted to see if Chrissy could do C-Pap on the vent at night instead of regular vent settings. She failed that test miserably, and had apnea so much the first two hours, they gave up and put her back on the vent! She is doing great during the day though on just a trach coller part of the day and HME part of the day . We didn't get home until late yesterday and spent the evening getting her settled and the vent set up at home and all that. Today we spent the day moving her room and getting supplies put away and organized. Her bed was in the master bedroom with me, but now we have night nurses and since it would be kind of weird to have a nurse in our bedroom (LOL) we moved Chrissy to her own "room" (it is actually our study/dining room but now it is hers).
Chrissy is doing so good with her trach and we are really happy with the results. She breathes great now! She and I thank you all so much for all the prayers and well wishes!!
Welcome to the Mason Family Blog. Our story, our family, our happiness and our sorrows. Our journey through earthly life with all the joy and all the pain and all the faith and love needed until we return to Heavenly Father's loving arms....
"When words cannot provide the solace we need or express the joy we feel, when it is simply futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic and reason cannot yield adequate understanding about the injustices and inequalities of life, when mortal experience and evaluation are insufficient to produce a desired outcome, and when it seems we are so totally alone, truly we are blessed by the tender mercies of the Lord and made mighty even unto the power of deliverance." -Elder David A. Bedmar
