Day 2

Ada did really well throughout the night. She was breathing really slow so they waited to remove her breathing tube until morning. We had to wait until after 8:00 am to see her because of shift change, but when we came in she looked like this. They had extubated her and she was so happy!! The nurse gave her some more morphine and Tylenol and now she is resting. The doctors came and rounded on her. They said that she is doing so well. She is on lasix which is a diuretic to pull off fluid. They turned off the mironone which is a drug that makes the heart squeeze better. If she does well with this off then they can take out her iv in her neck. Her urinary catheter also gets to come out. She still has a chest tube which is draining blood from her chest. As soon as the bleeding slows down that can come out. She might can be transferred out of ICU later tonight. She is so dang strong. We should be able to feed her around 12:00pm today. So we will see how she does.
