Update 6/28/09

This weekend has been very hard on Patti. On Sabbath afternoon without telling anyone and without warning she "self-extubated" -> which means she forcefully pulled out the breathing tube (possibly due to confusion). They watched her to see how she would do, but soon it was clear that she needed the help of the ventilator which was then quickly resumed. Due to her confusion she was given medications again to keep her calm and more sedated if needed. No further attempts at weaning were attempted this weekend. The doctors are telling her (and us!) to be patient. We'll provide more updates once we hear from her doctors again.
