[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 349348, member: 1991"] I got a phone call tonight - J is off t he ventilator! I haven't got a lot of details, I was told she's still on the oxygen mask, which I take to mean she's still on CPAP, but the tubes are out of her throat and she can talk at last! Apparently her first word was, "Water..." Poor darling, ten days on a ventilator and not able to take a sip of anything in all that time. This is sooner than we expected, I think it's sooner than her specialist expected. It seems that the massive prednisone is what has done the trick, so we don't know what will happen from here. She might continue to improve at least for a while, and hopefully it buys her time. And buys time for her doctors. We should have the more detailed pathology report by Wednesday evening. That's 48 hours. I should be able to sleep tonight at last. Marg [/QUOTE]
