    Default Judy update 17th

    Judy; is starting to respond to "pain", med term for skin scratching. both arms and both legs. she was fighting the ventilator so the docs reduced the vent to its minimum to allow her to take over breathing, all part of waking up. Her blood pressure is not stable so they are keeping the drugs running to maintain pressure. Well what would you expect with bi-lateral pneumothorax? Every one please keep in mind she is still in deep trouble.

    Point of interest from the docs (sic); Had the decision not been made on the bottom to take the risk of an emergency ascent from 100' she would not have gotten this far. Spending any time attempting in water rescue activities would have been unrecoverably fatal, under these circumstances. Repeat, under these circumstances.


    Let the praying continue, the docs admitted this was beyond their control.

    thanks

    Human Evolution makes me wonder: from HomoErectus to HomeSapiens, from Dry Caves to Wet Caves. Nevertheless, from HomoErectus to HomeSapiens, from Org. Caves still to Org. Caves! DAMN ...

    I hope she has a chance to fully recover from this incident.

    If I may ask, what are you referring to when you say "under these circumstances"? Mind sharing what circumstances so that the community can possibly learn more about this type of circumstance?

    Thanks again, and I hope and pray she makes it.

    Joe
