Update #17
November 18th, 2007 by janos
Wow, what a day so far. She managed to yank her trach out…. Needed to take a lot of mucus from her plugged up lungs. It seems like it is better to have it reinserted. She could not get her oxygen saturation up to desired level without it. Way too much coughing today. I hope she will get better soon. It hurts me to see her in pain.
Jitka got very tired today. Toward the end of the day her care nurse Ashly tried to pretty Jitka’s hair. She still has two large chunk of hair totally stuck together and tainted with blood. It will be nice to be able to wash her hair again. She needs a good rest for sure. If all goes well, the air ambulance will pick her up in the morning and fly her to Atlanta.

Hey all, this is an update from Atlanta. Jitka made it to the Shepherd Center here in Atlanta today. Todd McDevitt made it in to see her, so she was not ’solo’ on her first day in Atlanta, plus she had a travel buddy whose name I do not know. She seemed to be in good shape in spite of the travel. Hopefully this is a positive sign of a positive environment
Sorry for the brief update, but knowing Jitka made her travels safe and sound is good news. Keep her and her family in your prayers, they make a difference 
With great humility….gratefully from Atlanta….Kim Conti-Graziano
