The pulmonology team came in to do her Traecheostomy this morning. During the preparation the Neurosurgery Resident came in and asked the nurse if anyone had told them she was on asprin and getting a shot of heparin each morning. Well, noone had told them, or put it on hold, so they had to place the procedure on hold. They would not want her to bleed excessively (neither would we!)
The Respiratory Therapist got in her tube and gave her a real good clean out deep in her lungs, in preparation for the procedure, and cleaned up her throat and nasal passages real well. She's breathing pretty easy right now, and is nearly flat in the bed for the first time. (she's been at 40 degrees since she got here...)
I'll keep you posted on the plan. Otherwise, she's got some knock out juice in the IV and is resting really well.
