We had another busy day! It started with a gasp... By me... Because the xray technician woke me up at 5am by touching my knee... I opened my eyes to see a stranger with a medical mask on looking directly at me! 😷👀😳 The next time I woke up, 4 people were already in the room talking, standing around Annelise. I'm immediately very awake at this moment!! They were there to remove her chest tube. You know, the one they put in yesterday. 🤨. Apparently the xray showed that it had moved, and was now in a spot that wasn't useful at all. The removal was super fast, but no@ to rebuild around her left lung again? We'll have to wait and see! Another xray is coming up in the morning. If there is little or no fluid after a day... They discussed trying to feed her again! Hooray!
She had a rough morning as far as being agitated. We gave her one more dose of the drug she's weaning off of, and we haven't had to give another dose since! She's much less jittery today too.
Bath time turned her frown around today. Which is funny because she usually isn't a fan of baths at all! After her bath she was calm and content ♥️
Kevin and I practiced changing Annelise's trach ties that go around her neck and hold her trach in. I remain terrified of the whole process, but still believe the respiratory technicians who say they all had to learn too and we'll be great once we get more practice in.
I'll update you when we find out what's going on with Annelise's pleural effusion!
Thank you for your continued love and prayers for our family! ❤️♥️❤️Q
