March 9 – Day 3056

Joyce had a rough day. But Joyce had a great night and they tried another breathing teatment and she had a reaction. So I talked to the doctor to findout if she needed them since her chest was clear. He said he would do it only as needed. Then jopyce had breathing issues so she is on a CPAP maching at 45%. They had removed her catheter. She has a urinary infection but there got her on medication. I asked the doctor if she still needed catheter so now she is on periwick system so we can eliminate the possibility of infection with the catheter.
