Trachea

A while back I wrote about a lady's house and a painting of "The Last Supper" she had hanging on the wall. Remember that one? Well this past week, we made another run to her house for breathing problems. She is an older lady in a hospital bed who has a broad list of medical problems including a few strokes which is why we were there the last time. This time it appeared that something was wrong with her tracheal tube and she wasn't able to breath properly. Our computer notes told us "Patient has trachea"!!!!!!! No shit? Does she have arms and legs too? Well that night turned out to be nothing as her tube was clogged and cleared up by the daughter before we got there. She told us that everything was fine and we went on our way.

The next day on shift, were were sent back once again and this time she had passed away. It looked as if she suffocated so I am assuming her tube was clogged again and could not get any air while she slept. Well it looks like someone will finally fill that empty spot at the table with Jesus.
