On our Way

I understand that they take the heart pump away before they take out the trach tube. This is so that if he has a problem when they take away the heart support, the tube will be in place. They have turned the heart pump down to 1:4. It was 1:1. One Bill beat, one pump beat is 1:1. Four Bill beats, one pump beat is 1:4. That (1:4) is like almost no support from the pump. He has been 1:4 for about a half and hour and his blood pressure is holding with no support from medicines. If he continues for another half hour, they will take him off the pump. Keep in mind that this is all "doctor time" and Dr. M hasn't been on the scene yet. SO I THOUGHT this would be a good time for everyone to be having good thoughts and prayers. Love to ALL!!
