This morning Angela's chext x-ray actually showed air in her left lung! They decided to see if she could stand not being sedated on the ventilator, and she's doing OK. Twice they tried to see if she was ready to breathe on her own, but she wasn't quite. Maybe tomorrow. Her ammonia level returned to normal, and her mental state seems better than a couple of days ago. It was good to be able to talk to her and have her understand. She was able to write notes to us, too.
We were reminded that things can turn on a dime, but today was continued improvement, for which we are grateful.
