Pretty sure they put her on precedex yesterday, don't know which drug it replaced. She's also getting fentanyl of course. I'm on board with the trach now. At first I was resisting. Really bottom line is she would be getting one in 2 days anyway as they have a 2 week max policy for breathing tubes. Based on what I saw from her today, I think shes really gonna come alive mentally when they stop with the drugs. Once again thanks for the helpful posts!!
