Dianna struggles with chest congestion

Mom had a challenging day today. Her neck was hyper-extended once again and she seemed to have some chest congestion.  Dad was with her for about 2 1/2 hours during which time he was trying to help her clear out some of the fluid.  He had a discussion with the head nurse and they decided to use a piece of equipment designed to assist people to remove the congestion. A tube was inserted down Mom's air passage to suck up the fluid.  Later when Dad called the Lodge to see how she was doing, they reported Mom's breathing was much better.
