12/05/09 Intubate

December 5, 2009 by Jason.

The phone rang at 3; never a good sign. They had to reintubate Juliana and put her back on the ventilator. Her lungs were not expanding as well and she was getting tired. They will wean her down and give it another try in a few days. Her rate is 26 on 23% oxygen, pressure 15 over 5. Additionally, they have stopped her feeds for the day. Last night she had 5ml in her stomach left over. They would like to see her bowels move to make sure everything is flowing correctly. So, today is a minor setback. I will get to kangaroo later this afternoon, which I am looking forward to greatly.
