(OK, the tube is still in place in this photo.) The nurses gave her a little stuffed whale that is by her head.
After having an ultrasound and echocardiogram this morning, Evie was doing well and had no problems. Her paralytic drug was stopped around 1pm, then her Fentanyl (sedation) was stopped around 2:30. Unfortunately, when she stopped getting the sedation, her pulse-ox dipped into the 50's. This is not what you want when you are trying to get a baby off of a ventilator!
The doctors then restarted her sedation at a lower dose and then gradually weaned her, instead of just shutting it off completely. Between 6 and 7pm, her breathing tube was removed!! She is doing fairly well: her nurse described her breathing as "a little coarse" and she is on a high-flow oxygen cannula. She is sleeping now as I type. We are not sure what day she will be able to come home.
