Extubation...round 3
Caydence went to OR today to have that granuloma tissue removed. They took her down and lasered it out as much as they could. She did really well with that and came back with no tube, just on C-Pap. She was pretty angry when she got back to her room and her gasses didn't look to good but she soon calmed down and everything looked better. She seems to be doing pretty good so far but it has only been a couple hours. I think the real test will be when 6am hits, that seems to be the time she doesn't like and gets worked up and ends up wanting that tube back in. So only time will tell. I have no idea what she's going to do this time around. This is the last time we try extubating her so I hope she makes it but I'm not going to get my hopes up. We know what comes next if she can't do it, but at least we have given her every opportunity to show us what she can do.

What a sweetheart. Just remember that if the trach is a must, it is only temporary...she will grow and get stronger and stronger. It doesn't change how beautiful she is! You guys can do this! (How's that for a pep talk?? In my mind, I've got the "Eye of the Tiger" from Rocky playing in the background and so my words sound so much more motivating. ;) Oh, and p.s. that bow makes my <3 happy...she makes it look good! I've got more ribbon if you want...I'll take your requests for colors if you think you need more...
