Bettyjo Update

Bettyjo was dong well yesterday. She was completely off the ventilator. She has some pain, but it seems to managed well, and she is tolerating it well. She is still in ICU. The plan was to get her to a regular room, but none were available. Hopefully today. She has a valve for her trach that will help her talk but it has been a bit cumbersome. She can also put her finger on the trach and exhale over her vocal cords to talk, but it is going to take some practice.
