Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

Yesterday started off low for Kaidyn. Her stats were not looking good at all. The amount of oxygen they were giving her had increase tremendously and the nurses look worried. However, the respiratory therapist though her breathing tube may have been the issue so they lowered and sure enough her stats started to increase. She did come off the conventional ventilator and switched to a jet ventilator, which is a step back but I expected it as did the doctor. Her lungs are just not ready for the pressure the conventional ventilator puts on them. Her head scan came back excellent. There are no major bleeds which was such a relief. There is a tiny spot but the doctor thinks its just a blood vessel. She will get another scan next week to see if there has been change. They did take her off the dopamine for her blood pressure but she is now on antibiotics because her chest x-ray was not the best and they want to make sure she doesn't have an infection. We will get the results of that later on. By the end of the day Kaidyn was doing well and resting comfortably on her tummy.
