More Trouble Breathing
At 10 PM Amacker is still having trouble breathing. They've had to increase her oxygen to 55% and her Peep to 10.
Technology to the rescue?
Tomorrow they are bringing in a special new-fangled bed that should help Amacker breathe. It's designed to hold her various extremities in place relative to her body, but rotate her. I'm not sure how that helps her breathe (so much for my passing for a doctor), but that's what it's supposed to do. I'm told it's quite a contraption to see. It also sounds like Stanford is bringing in this bed just for Amacker, because the nurse said she "talked to the company" about getting it here tomorrow morning.

I am a copd patient and I always breathe better when I am sitting up.
