WHAT. A. DAY.
When we got there to see Izzy today it was time for cares, we did all her cares (changed her diaper, took her temperature, all that jazz) and then the nurse asked if we wanted to hold her. Klay was going to hold her and when the nurse was getting her out to put her on Klay's chest she accidentally got extubated! She started coughing and her stats were dropping so the nurse called the respiratory therapist over and they pulled the tube the rest of the way out. STRESSFUL!! They were rushing to get her re-intubated but they noticed that she actually was doing pretty good without it! So they decided to try the nasal canula again. She has done SO GOOD today! I'm so proud of her! It amazes me that something so simple as breathing is so hard for these little ones. Her little body amazes me and I get so hopeful with every little (and big!) step that she takes. After they got the nasal canula in they decided to give her some steroids to reduce the inflammation in her lungs to hopefully keep her off the vent. So far she's been doing great and her CO2 has stayed low, it's looking promising! Lots and lots of prayers for our little 2 pound 14 oz. skittle tonight.
