Sitting up in a chair, breathing on her own!

Woo Hoo! Dorothea sat up in a chair for about one hour this morning! Harold says that lots of nurses stopped by to talk with her when they saw her sitting up. I am sure they were all moved by seeing that!

They have capped the trachea, and she is breathing on her own, with no oxygen support. She has been able to keep her oxygen level around 95%, which is good. I imagine they will keep a close eye on her, and provide oxygen only if necessary. What a great morning!

We are going to visit the L-TAC this afternoon and check out the facility.
