Our Fiesty Girl is Back


After spending the last few days sleeping and recuperating, Emma is clearly feeling much better today! As her nurse said this afternoon, “our fiesty little girl is back” :)

Emma was much more active and alert today. She was squirming around her isolette and just about pulled her NG tube out. She seems to be hungry (a good sign!) and has been giving her pacifier a good work out. The respiratory techs had to retape her endotracheal tube twice today as Emma has been moving so much and pulling on it, it has become loose. She’s on the lowest possible settings of the ventilator (10 bpm at 21% oxygen), so she’s ready to be extubated very soon (the docs wanted to give her stomach another day to heal, so decided not to put her back on CPAP yet). She’s scheduled to have xrays of her chest and abdomen tomorrow… here’s hoping the results will be good!

    Just thrilled to hear this! Emma’s colour looks so healthy in her picture, nice and pink just like a little girl baby should – right?

    Great news, and I love that the nurse called her fiesty – lookout!
