Caroline is still in the weaning process and is on about 2 liters of oxygen today. The Pulmonologist did come by and had a long talk with me about Caroline & her restrictive lung disease. When Caroline came into the ER her CO2 levels were dangerously high, and he said they thought that they could have been high for some time. He thinks Caroline will benefit from a vent at night at home. She just doesn't have the ability to move air well enough not to have support, especially after this illness. Our plans are to continue to wean here off some of this O2 and get trained in the vent dept. I assured Caroline that the vent would fit in Aunt T's car and Sophie's room. That made her smile.
