She is going in Tuesday, having consultations with various doctors, then the tube will be inserted Wednesday.
Due to her diminished breathing, it was explained to us that she will be in twilight during the procedure, not completely knocked out. There's a chance she'll need breathing assistance during the procedure, and then there is a chance if she gets vented during the procedure, her body will like having the vent and she might have to keep it in.
She decided to keep it in if it comes down to it, which I am not sure if I am happy with or not. I guess my question is has anyone else gone through a similar thing? What was the outcome?
