The Plan

I was in the nursery this morning when the Nurse Practitioner did her daily rounds. The plan for the day is to keep her stable and continue to monitor the levels. She did state that there would not be an official attempt to wiene her from the vent in the next 24 hours.

Anna did give me a minor scare. Every time that they turn her she usually has to be suctioned because some phlegm usually breaks loose. After they turned her at 10:00 they suctioned her twice and she still was very uncomfortable. Her oxygen levels dropped slightly. There was a 5 minute period where we all just kind of watched the monitor. She promptly returned to her normal level and relaxed. It was not even that critical of a moment compared to what we went through on Friday but for me it was scary because the last few days everything has been so positive it was hard to see any negative change.
