Ann Marie,
I meant to post and tell you that my friend hasn’t gotten back with me yet. I saw her last night at DH’s HS reunion, but she had to leave very suddenly. I later learned that her mom has been in the hospital and was taken off the vent yesterday but is a DNR and I think she may have passed away last night.. I am not sure, but I may see her tomorrow if that wasn’t the case. If I don’t see her and I have time, I will ask one of the other respiratory therapist on the unit tomorrow. I have a big meeting in the morning and may not have any time after the meeting to ask around, but if I do I will let you know what I find out. Sorry to have kept you hanging on this.
