December 28th update: (written by Marta’s daughter)
Friday, December 28, 2007
Sorry everyone I’m a little late on updating you all. Yesterday was a pretty big day, mom had another surgery. About half of her right foot was amputated and a trach was put in so that the ventilator could be removed and she could still have a little help breathing. We understand from the doctors that the surgery went as well as could be, and her next surgery will be 2 or 3 weeks out. The bone from the foot they took off will eventually be used to fix her right wrist. Today they reduced the amount of sedation she was receiving and her eyes opened and she was much more lucid. She is communicating with us currently through blinking, as she cannot speak due to the trach. Because she is now more awake for the next few days we will limit who is allowed back in the ICU, although we still welcome company in the Barclay suite (our very own ICU waiting room). It was great to see her eyes opened and to see her communicate she has been sleeping a lot and is just resting, ill keep you posted.
