Natalie – Status Update

March 26, 2026

The morning started with another good report from Natalie's Dr. She had a good night and her oxygen levels were stable. The plan for the day is to begin reducing the amount of oxygen she is receiving and to continue to monitor her progress. She started the morning with a drop to receiving 80% oxygen and has responded well.

Throughout the day, Natalie's oxygen didn't improve. Sue and I were deputized and given the responsibility of driving the 'cough assist' regimine which was scheduled for every 2 hours. We had great success getting secretions out of Natalie. With Sue running the machine and cheering, me holding the mask on tight and Natalie's nurse, Kat, taking responsibility for Natalie's mask and suctioning, we had a good team that pulled a lot out of Natalie.
