No go for today...

Olivia did alright on the CPAP trial, but after talking to the doctor, it seems more logical to wait to extubate. Olivia still needs to have a new broviac put in, and it would be silly to extubate her and have to re-intubate her when it's time to go to surgery. So, they set it up to have a broviac put in tomorrow afternoon or Friday morning depending on how she is doing.
Other plans for the day...trying feeds again through her g-tube at 5 ml and hour, decreasing her diuretics (she's shrinking like crazy), and let her rest up for extubation day!
I'm getting ready to head back to Macomb this afternoon...if I can find it.
I've heard rumors that our computer at home is having issues, so if I don't update...don't worry, I'll be back at it tomorrow afternoon.

Well, I'm glad her trial went well! It sounds like she's definitely making progress a little bit at a time! Keep us posted about when they're going to put a new broviac in!
I hope you're having a fun sleepover at home! I'm sure Jack and Brooklyn are thrilled to have you there with them!
