-They (The Doctors) put a breathing tube down her throat (Intubation).
-With Intubation comes a paralytic drug, basically medically induced coma.
-At some point later she needed to be placed on dialysis, because her lungs couldn't oxygenate her blood well enough.
-They wanted to remove the tube going down her throat and put in a trach tube for her to breathe through.
-When doing so, a piece of harden mucus fell into her lung and cause her WBC to sky rocket.
-Then her lungs started collapsing.
-She now has 3 tubes in each lung keeping them inflated.
-Though she is on assist, she still has ARDS
-I'll work on this more later...
beers and unplugged music for everyone
