Shortly after writing the last post, Mylah was extubated (had her breathing tube removed and is off the ventilator)!!
She was so upset and fighting to cry and breathing over it. Our nurse and good friend Becca, took a blood gas. That measures her balance of gases and such in her blood. It looked really good so the Charge Nurse and Peds doctor said she could be extubated!
It's always hard to see and watch, but she did really well! When she let out a small cry my heart smiled. She is slowly progressing towards discharge and healing well.
Now maybe she can eat later tonight!
