Off the Respirator

Today Hannah continues stable. She had her first physio session this morning & apart from when they turned her over to the other side, she seemed to enjoy it. Her joints are all a bit stiff from having lay immobile for so long.

They decided to stop the dialysis for a couple of hours this morning to see if her kidneys would kick in. Unfortunately nothing happened so they started the dialysis back up again. They say they are 99% expectant that her kidneys will work again it's just a matter of time. There is that 1% chance however that they won't, so we keep praying.

The biggest step today was that Hannah was off the respirator, breathing on her own this evening. So far she has been off for an hour & has maintained her blood gases. It is likely however they will put her back on the respirator assistance over night though as it is still quite hard work for her & very tiring.
