Mom is off the ventilator...passed the swallow test with water and ice...getting liquid diet for dinner and soft diet, low sodium, low carbs for breakfast. If she continues to stay healthy, she will be transferred to the floor tomorrow. She will be there for 2-3 days before coming home. Doctors have no idea what caused her to be unconscious, no seizure activity according to her eeg. Her sugars are 150-180 and ammonia was 29 this morning....new low...creatine is still up near 1.7......pushing liquids to flush the kidneys. Chloride level is up so changing chloride % level in water IV. She is spirited and very talkative.
