Quiet time.

Olivia is doing well. The goal is to keep things status quo throughout the weekend. Her new custom trachs are here, but they don't want to change it out until "trach change day," which will be Monday. Once they get that changed out, they will be able to shut off the paralytic and let her start waking up! It will be a bit of a process to get her off her sedation drips due to the fact that she is on soooooo...much, but she'll get there!
No real changes with Olivia. They did change her back to a heparin drip (from her Angiomax) to see if they can get her blood a bit more thinned out. The Angiomax was working great, but then all of a sudden she hasn't been as anti-coagulated as they would like. It's possible that she could have developed some antibodies to the Angiomax, but she would be the only one they've ever heard of that happening to. Who knows...
Anyway, the "home vent team" stopped by this morning with her trachs and said they would be back this afternoon to get us a handbook and some basic information to start looking at. The new adventure begins...
