On January 4th the doctors have switched me back to regular ventilation and the following day they think I am ready to have the tube taken out and that I should begin to start breathing again. I have not been able to have any milk for 8 days. I am only getting glucose. They are just now begining to feed me little bits of milk at a time. I know I am not ready for this tube to be taken out. I am so weak. I am just now recovering from Septic Shock, Double Pnuemonia, Urinary Tract Infection, and the bacteria that started this all and severely kicked my butt named Aeromonas Hydrophilla.
I last 36 hours breathing on my own. I am trying so hard but it is dificult. I am having problems coughing on my own. I have to be knocked out again and the tube to the ventilator goes back in my throat. Each time I have to be intubated it is a very stressful situation for us all.
Malia
I saw your ad for a PT and was very interested in the position. I have tried to contact you and left some messages. Now, looking for your email address, I found this blog about Malia, and me and my parents are touched and are willing to help you. We would like to offer you for free our home for both of you to stay overnight or to rest during the day. We live in San Pedro, 5 km east of the San Jose Central Park and have a room available.
I am a US and Costa Rican citizen, am 28 years old and my parents also speak English.
Please let us know if we can help in anything else.
Our home number is 2524-2808 and my cell phone is 8914-3014.
Malia is now in our prayers.
Love,
Itzi
