Sometimes the vent is best. It gives the body a chance to rest and heal. It's stressful for us, of course, but it's not always a bad option. The recovery is longer- Dad's oncologist used to tell us, "one day on the vent = one week in recovery"- but it's okay.

I would have figured they'd put the ICD in today... but they dont move that fast.
I have to call in an hour so the day shift can read the night shifts notes.
