My mom has been on the vent since last October 2007
She is in a hospital still today

we make progress and then we have set backs

my family is becoming split on what to do

I need people to talk to that I have family

members on vent and give us advice on how to do this

I am still hopeful she will wean she can make it about 20 hours sometimes but not a full day

make in February 2008 she made it six days but they did not take her trach out so since then back and forth.

My Dad says she can not go home this way but

I feel there is away with help

so anyone that has someone at home tell me what it is like I would appreciate your help.

I just can not give up on my mom.

thanks Nancy
