Well I just figured since there's so many pages in the other thread that i'd start a new one for her updates!! Than it's easier to read.
So yesterday Angel was having a pretty good day. She was doing well all morning and then when I went to visit her I was encouraged to "cradle" her in my hands (one hand on top of head other at feet) so she feels secure. When I did that her oxygen needs went WAY down. They went from 92 to 58 in the first ten mins. She was doing very well.
But today she is having a rather up and down and very touchy day. Her oxygen is back up in the 80-90% range. I cradled her for a while and oxygen sat at 80% for a good 15 mins then she went back down. She's been super sensitive and touchy the last day that they have been keeping her on fentanyl and morphine to help keep the edge off and keep her comfortable. I'm not sure what's bothering her but I think it could be the fluid build up in her lungs. She's still having issues getting that fluid to stay out and her lungs are not maturing very well.
Unless her setting go down on this Osc ventilator and she can stay stabelized she will remain on this one. So she's being a naughty girl. Until she gets back on the conventional ventilator and stays stable on it for a couple days there will be no kangaroo care. She's just too touchy and squirmy. She keeps having one really good day and then one not so good day. But it's perfectly understandable and im ok with that. I just want her to start getting better
I'd love to see her on the conventional ventilator because that would mean she's getting better and her lungs are getting stronger. But it's just going to take her a little while longer.
Just have to take it one day at a time. I know she will get there it's just going to take a little bit longer. So hopefully tomorrow is a good day and she can keep having better days! I will keep u all posted!
