Ventilator

I just went back to see Mom with her ventilator. She no longer has a mask over her face just a tube down her throat. It is being held into place with something that looks like a head gear you would wear with braces. Her vitals look much better and the twitching has stopped -- but the twitching stopping is most likely because she is still under anesthesia. We are now waiting for the team that will do the catheter to come back. They stopped their procedure because mom was twitching too much and now that she is perfectly still it is a much better time to perform the procedure. She looks more at ease at the moment and hopefully the ventilator is giving her the much needed rest she needs while we work on her kidneys and the tumor.
