Tubing

Good Morning
Monday, August 1, 2011

I called the hospital first thing this morning to check on Cayleigh. The nurse then handed the phone to the Doctor, never a good sign. She explained to me that they had turned off the ventilator this morning, with Cayleigh still intubated, and she was breathing on her own okay. Mind you, the tube was still in place and going directly into her trachea. They then extubated her and she began having extreme difficulty getting past all the secretions and so they did a bloodgas on her again. Her CO2 began creeping back up, her PH soaring down. SO, they had to re-intubate my baby. She says it will be at least 48 hours before they'll try again.

Screw tubing.
