Day 33 (29/2)

Someone was extubated today 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

10am – Phone Call

Dr Lipsky called to tell us that they extubated him this morning at 8am…

They will be watching his ABG like a hawk and testing every two hours…

He’s still on TPN and they won’t pull him off until he can stabilize his ABG (or re-intubate) with his new breathing support setup…

Even if just for a moment, we’re happy that tube is out 😀

10:25am – Update From Nurse Kelly

“Good 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!

I’m excited and nervous to be extubated today but I’m thinking positively and feeling ready for this!

I’m 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!

Can’t wait to see you both today and let you hear my tiny bit mighty roar! Love you mom and dad! 💙”

3:00pm – Hospital

As we walked in, Dr Lipsky told us that Asher’s “skating on the edge, but I know he can do this!”

Current ABG results:

• 10am: 64
• 12pm: 62
• 2pm: 61

Asher needs to be down to 55 by his next gas, or they’ll have to re-intubate him…

We’re praying that he stabilizes his CO2 by his next ABG test!!

YOU CAN DO THIS ASHER!!

4pm – Cares

His little cry 😍
