Just seen on her website they have decided to keep get sedated for another 24 hours.
Smith- Im a physio and have worked on itu a fair bit. This is a relatively short time in reality for sedation.
With head injuries the longer you can give down time to the brain the better. With her lung and rib injuries if pain etc is likely to cause her to breath shallowly keeping under to allow the lung to re inflate fully and ribs to stabilize the better- it also means her chest can be cleared of rubbish without having to trachyostomy her as coughing will be painful.
While sedated doctors control everything and can ensure all vitals are within normal or correct limits.
Its also normal to wake and re sedate.
I want to send her a card but don't know where to send it to

Does anyone know how the jockey is doing that is being kept in an induced coma?
Really wishing them both the very best and swift recoveries.

All best wishes to both of them for full recoveries.
