This afternoon momma enjoyed visiting with Auntie Ev. She did a whole lap around the 3rd floor!! She is coughing a lot and working with the incentive spirometer. The coughing is important to clear her airway. And the spirometer helps to increase lung volume. She is getting oxygen through nasal canulae at a tidal volume of 3. (oh, Becky the medical girl added that) She remains pretty sleepy, and is looking forward to sleeping tonight. Barbie just asked her if she wanted to sleep or do the breath exercises, Momma said "how about some Ice Cream". Ha Ha Ha! That is a good sign. We had a good laugh. (Barb again) But I promise she WILL do her breathing exercises after her ice cream. Her smile is lovely and we are enjoying the awake time with her. This evening I see my mom. Halleluja!!
Love ta all
