Prayers for y’all Gomer.
So they’re gonna leave her nasally intubated until Monday because they can’t do an mri until then? Id be in the dr.’s ear so fast on that he’d take her up and do it himself. That’s total bull crap. It makes me want to come raise immortal hell for you. That place claims to be world renown for patient treatment/care and is a level one trauma center. No way in hell should they leave her intubated that long when they could run her up there and do it. I’d be asking some questions.


They ended up being able to intubate her normally instead of through the nose. She'll have to be intubated until the swelling goes down regardless of the MRI, because as long as there's swelling, her airway is in danger of closing. They're actively ting to manage he swelling, it's just slow going. I have no problem getting after a doctor or nurse I feel isn't getting it done (I got sideways with a few here when GomerJr was here his first time) but I on et that impression with these.

It just sounds like they could give her better treatment once the MRI has been done and read by a dr. I don’t know, obviously I’m not there so I’ll be quiet. I hope everything goes smooth and y’all get back home safe and healthy soon.
