As Monday's go, Rick had a bad day. His breathing has become more difficult as the secretions build up, and the suctioning causes all kinds of havoc with his breathing sensation, so he was put back on the ventilator this afternoon. DARN.... but this will help keep his lungs clear and give him time to get some strength back while the machine does more of the hard work and he "helps" with a few breaths. They may look at some other procedures to help his breathing tomorrow. Due to constant nursing care on the ventilator, Robin has come home tonight to get a goods night sleep and regroup.
Robin thanks everyone for their calls and texts, but just can't get back to you at this time. The easiest way to let Rick and Robin know your are thinking about them is to leave a comment after any blog entry.
Send Rick all the positive energy to get past this setback you can and lets hope the week gets a little brighter.
Lots of prayers and good thoughts going out.
