Closer Still

Ev is still improving. Likely hood of extubation today about 50-50. The remaining holdup is that cpap respiration is rapid & shallow. They want slow and deep. So today they are pulling her chest tube! (which they say is like having permanent pleurisy.) This should help that remaining parameter.

BTW, the doctors prefer the word "Team". How about enclave? or Swoosh?

A Coven. Although I guess logically that would apply to nurses better but... at this point we like nurses, right?
