Good Afternoon, Thank you for all the get well wishes and prayers. Ms Jackie was vented last night as she grew very weary of struggling to breath. Due to the exacerbation was having her CO2 levels were very high. Altho they were able to control the level by using high flow air/O2 (new method) She was too tired to maintain tidal flow to hold it down. They have tried reducing vent support however she does not the strength to keep enough air in & out and C02 began to rise. Giving her support and allowing her to rest. No specific reason determined other than advanced COPD. Suz, I will see if the hospital has a web presence for patient get well wishes, if not a really great idea.
I have read all your comments to her, each one brought a smile.
As always thank you for unrelenting support,
Dave

It is just my luck that the one morning I did not come on the site, there would be news of Jackie. Thank you for letting us know about her health. I know if it was one of us, she would send Sarah to look over us and I am certain Sarah will look over her now. I found this poem that perhaps you could take to her along with a huge hug from me: Hang In There
, my friend; You're on my mind, Because you're somehow ailing, But your response to any challenge Has always been unfailing. So I'm confident you'll win again; Hang in there, and you'll see; You'll be back on top in no time, Tackling life courageously. By Joanna Fuchs

Jackie kept saying her spidey sense said I was having a rough go of it. She was right but I was also having one of those spidey sense moments about her.
Jackie, my thoughts are with you and my song cast high to the stars that this difficult moment becomes very quickly part of your past and that you find yourself strong and happy, back home again with your family.....hopefully the snow has been shoveled.
As Sue said, stay strong...both of you.

Dave - you are so kind to give us an update when I am sure you must be so concerned about Jackie. Please reassure her that the vent support will allow her much needed rest and not to rush things. Heartfelt thoughts go to both of you:)

Positive thoughts. See yourself first in your mind being healthy, then send it out to your body. That's my health tip for today.
