Someone was extubated today ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
10am – Phone Call
Dr Lipsky called to tell us that they extubated him this morning at 8amโฆ
They will be watching his ABG like a hawk and testing every two hoursโฆ
Heโs still on TPN and they wonโt pull him off until he can stabilize his ABG (or re-intubate) with his new breathing support setupโฆ
Even if just for a moment, weโre happy that tube is out ๐
10:25am – Update From Nurse Kelly
โGood morning mom and dad! I had a really great night with only a few episodes of desats and bradys, I only needed one dose of Ativan overnight!
Iโm excited and nervous to be extubated today but Iโm thinking positively and feeling ready for this!
Iโm even more excited to use my tiny voice!
My nurse Kelly made sure I had a really good nurse today and she talked to my doctor to make sure things go smoothly!
Canโt wait to see you both today and let you hear my tiny bit mighty roar! Love you mom and dad! ๐โ
3:00pm – Hospital
As we walked in, Dr Lipsky told us that Asherโs โskating on the edge, but I know he can do this!โ
Current ABG results:
- 10am: 64
- 12pm: 62
- 2pm: 61
Asher needs to be down to 55 by his next gas, or theyโll have to re-intubate himโฆ
Weโre praying that he stabilizes his CO2 by his next ABG test!!
YOU CAN DO THIS ASHER!!
4pm – Cares
