S is off the ventilator.
She's not out of the woods, by a long shot. She's still encephalopathic, and having occasional bouts of hallucinations, and she's in some discomfort because of some of the tubes they have poking her in uncomfortable places, but she is OFF the VENTILATOR.
This is a huge relief.
What wonderful news, Sean.
That is good to hear, Sean.
I had to catch up to read all the homework commiseration posts. I really appreciate the comments. DH and I were both miserable failures at HS and yet we went on to do exceptionally well in college. And not so much failures in life. Still it is natural to want the boys to do better than we did. There isn't a thing in the world my parents could have done that would have made me perform better in HS. We'll just continue with the combo of rewards for no zeros in the homework column and denial of privilege when appropriate. It would be nice if parenting was all rewarding.
Now, to eat cheese enchiladas. yum yum
Sean, YAY. Off the ventilator is EXCELLENT.
That's good news, Sean. She's in my thoughts, as are you.
Sean, that's GREAT news -- you said it yourself yesterday: the longer she was on the vent, the harder it would be to get her off it, so this is VERY good.
