The trouble with long roads...

... is that often times you travel two steps forward and one step back. Although treatable, Naomi is suffering from complications. One of expected risks of being on a ventilator is contracting pneumonia. The [breathing] tube that was previously removed needs to be reinserted for just that reason, and she is now back under sedation. Naomi will be undergoing a scan today to locate a blood clot in her arm. This is apparently a common side effect from [removing] the main IV in her neck, but they need to locate and track it. Please keep her in your thoughts today.
