Denise has a lung tube now. Her dad Joe was with her overnight and saw the downward trend (in oxygen required versus oxygen saturation) & x-ray that lead the doctors & nurses to view the situation as an emergency and made the decision to put in a lung tube. Joe said that as of the time he left this morning, it looked like it was the right decision, as Denise's numbers improved, some being the best he's seen yet.
I've been trying to talk to someone to get specific details but haven't been able to yet. That's OK, I'd rather that they focus on taking care of Denise rather than sit on the phone with me. So I'm going over to the hospital for a while. I'll post facts as soon as I can.
