My parents got a call today that the doctors want to put a trach tube in for Andie - as opposed to the tubes that go down her throat to help with breathing. This was something that was mentioned as a possibility early on so it's not big surprise. They'll do the operation tomorrow morning and then she should be able to breathe better and the irritation of the breathing tube will be alleviated. Everything else is pretty much the same. They took her off the general anesthetic propofol (the Michael Jackson drug) since there's a nation-wide shortage and are using another one instead. There seems to be no difference in Andie with the new drug.
We're supposed to get more snow tomorrow on top of the huge storm we just had if things at the hospital are still the same I'll decide in the morning about going up to Allentown then or waiting until later in the week until the snow is done and the kids are tied up with hockey games anyway.
Either way, I'll keep posting here if there are any changes.
