Bev was put back on the respirator at 2 AM. She was having difficulty breathing and becoming anxious. She was taken off again at 8 AM and lasted until 11 AM. Bev is back on it now. Bev has a lot of congestion built up in her lungs over the last 2 weeks and breathing on her own is helping to break it up. Moving her to keep her comfortable also loosens the congestion.  This causes some blockage in the trachea tube and makes it difficult for Bev to breathe. The tube gets suctioned out regularly but it still brings on anxiety when it starts to build up in the tube. Bev having COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) doesn't help.
