ICU, Day 30

Mom had a great day! She went on the collar at noon, and at 7pm, she's still on it. They'll probably take her off around midnight, then put her back on in the morning so she can rest. They tried putting the valve on so she could talk (the oxygen mask would go over that, so she'd still be getting a slight concentration), but she coughed and it flew across the room, so they're sticking with oxygen for today. She also had more physical therapy, which exhausted her, but she's doing great.
