January 28th More Good News

Rachel and Camryn's kitty

Rachel had a good night again last night. The Respiratory Therapist says she looks like she isn't working as hard, but they are still cautiously optimistic. Her heart rate is continuing to come down (which is a good thing). They have been able to start sucking more secretion out. The oxygen has been turned down (another good sign). Emy explained that normal room air for us is 21%. Rachel is at 35%. She is still very critical. Her other vent settings are still very high, but they will work on decreasing them a little at a time as their goal for today. So over all....YES there is progress being made.
I believe it is an absolute miracle she is improving like she is. She is loved by so very many people. I have had a lot of phone calls and remarks saying how much she and her family have changed lives. Especially our community. Please continue to pray for Rachel.

We love you Rachie!
