ARDS...Life turns on a dime...I have never heard of it before this past Easter and now consider myself pretty well versed on the subject. I can read a monitor like a pro. The vent machine's honking, the signal that the patient is 'coughing', is no longer foreign. Almost everyone in ICU has a vent and they signal back and forth all day. There are bells chiming and machines alarming. The nurses that work there are amazing to be able to hear it, decipher it and not be driven crazy by it. It's been almost a month since our journey and, I am learning in my research that it might be a few more...
In an effort to keep our loved ones informed and to help my mom out with her desire to keep everyone in the know, I decided to create this blog that I will update daily.
