They did the tracheostomy Monday and Kris is off the ventilator during the day and on CPAP at night with what they are calling a Trach Collar. She has a "voice valve" that can be installed when off the CPAP that allows her to talk and, eventually eat and drink. She started physical therapy yesterday and is showing improvement on all fronts. I am still concerned about the delirium, which seems to come and go, but the ICU team does not seem to think it's anything to worry about at this time. Hopefully she will be out of the CTICU soon.
