Early this morning the doctors placed a new port for dialysis in Dorothea's chest. I am sure she is glad to have the tubes out of her neck! :) While she still had some sedation in her, they switched out her trachea tube for a smaller one. With this new tube, she will be able to talk. She was too tired today to try this, but hopefully tomorrow she will have more energy and try it. She will need to cover the hole with her hand when she wants to talk.
This afternoon she had dialysis. As usual, this procedure made her very tired. The physical therapists came when she was having dialysis treatment, so they were not able to do any work with her today. Her nurse did get her to dangle her legs for about 3 minutes though.
Looking forward to tomorrow, hopefully she will have enough energy to try to talk.
