Day two

Lara continues to improve. When we first went to the hospital today she was having her trach tube removed. After that she was able to speak in reduced tones.
As we visited on and off today, she had her pain meds adjusted to provide better relief and by the end of the day she was feeling more comfortable.
The doctors had stopped by and provided the opinion that everything inside was "OK". There is a lot of healing to do and there seems to be a wealth of good resources to allow that at UPMC.
I will do another update tomorrow night and with luck Lara will resume her own blog in a day or two.
Cheers, Al K
