I called Ramona’s room this morning to check in on the superstar. The Mom who answered was clearly not Jane. When I got a hold of Jane I found out why. Rock Star Ramona is doing so well that she has been cleared to move to the cardiac floor.

At present she has moved temporarily to a different area near where she has been, until they have a bed open for her upstairs. The great news in this is the huge shift from the “weeks to months.” time frame to a “days” time frame. If she continues to do well Ramona will spend a few days on the Cardiac floor and will then go home!

The Stats: Ramona is still on a liter of O2 through her nasal cannula and is still receiveing Methadone, Ativan and Lasix but they will continue to wean her off of all four today. The feeding tube is still in her nose but it has only been used for medications. She has been eating a few ounces at a time since they introduced the bottle again! Plus she even gained some weight. Go Ramona Go!
When she goes home she most likely will not need the feeding tube, any cardiac meds or oxygen. How great is that!?!
She will still have pain meds if needed and Jane and Andy will use a pulse ox to check her when she has tet spells or they get concerned.
Please pray for peace about the transition home and Ramona’s continued healing and growth. She needs to grow those arteries!
Ramona continues to amaze!
