Nana's Current Status

Nana was able to be taken off of the Ventilator (breathing machine) Today. We are very excited that she is maintaining breathing on her own at this time. She is still in CVU which is Fresno Heart Hospitals ICU at this time. Visitors are still restricted to her immediate family. Nana is able to answer yes and no questions through nodding, but is currently unable to talk. She did sit at the edge of the bed today for a couple of minutes. She is continuing to battle infections but is showing some progress. CardioSurgeon is currently initiating a new medication to help reduce heart rate which is beating faster then it should be. We will continue to update any new info as it happens.
