I'm doing ok really... the nursey ladies think that I'm a little fighter... I keep on doing things by myself, like regulating my own blood pressure and trying to breathe. They have me on this thing called a ventilator that helps me. As my lungs are so young they sometimes have trouble opening up so this machine helps. In the beginning it made my chest go up and own every half second or so, then they put me onto this ventilator that made my chest oscilate (I'm sure they mean oscarlate!), this means that it goes up and down between 600 - 1000 times a minute - I'm back to the uppy-downy every second or so as I tried to breathe for myself too much and it worked against the oscarlating.
I'll let you know when I'm breathing on my own. I can't wait as there's this tube going down my throat and it really hurts. Every so often then stick another tube in my mouth or down my ventilator to suck out any fluid - this is irritating, but they tell me that it's doing me good! I was taken off of the ventilator for a bit the other night, but I didn't like it so they put me back on it... I won't come off it again until my heart's ok... I'll let you know about my heart in a minute...
