A Very Eventful Day
When we came in to the hospital this morning, we were happy to find out that the results from the labs all came back negative. So, there is no infection, but they are keeping her on some antibiotics just as a preventive. Then, just when we thought that was good news, the doctors came in and decided that they would like to take Haven off of the ventilator! We couldn’t believe it. We certainly didn’t expect that so soon since she had been sick all this weekend. So, they extubated her which then caused her to have to do all the breathing on her own. She did great this afternoon! She was very happy, we got to hold her for a long while, and hear her little pathetic attempt at crying (she hasn’t been able to make any noise for a month). It was a very nice afternoon. They will continue to watch her carefully throughout the night to be sure that she is strong enough to remain off the ventilator breathing on her own. Hopefully, she will have the strength to keep up all that hard work without much assistance. We will certainly keep you updated on that. We are excited because this is a major milestone in her recovery. If she can maintain good numbers, things may start to move along.
