Brody was intubated with a breathing tube late this afternoon. He is much calmer and stable now. He sure did have a rough afternoon. His vitals are back to normal and he is resting peacefully. He'll be much better off with the tube for a while; we aren't sure how long but maybe a couple of days. He pulled out the breathing tube during the night and they had to do it again. The feedings were stopped for now but they might resume later tonight. He is getting all of the nutrients he needs through his new PICC line!
Jenny and Russ, your little Brody looks so good and he is adorable!!! Thanks for all of the posts - I love reading them to see how you are all doing (and sometimes they even make me cry) I'm glad that he's able to rest today, even if he needed the breathing tube - he needs to rest so that he can put all that energy into growing.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I have better luck posting to blogs when I do the Preview first - that seems to pop up the verifiation screen.
Lots of love,
