Overnight Arlyn had no events and received more calcium, she was weaned down from the vent last night so today at the end of the day they may start pressure support trials. This morning she will be going for an MRI of her head to see if anything can be seen due to her seizure activity. She is due to go down at 1000. Arlyn sounds very corse in her lungs but her swelling is much better they choose to give her a dose of lasix again this morning to help dry up her lungs. Todays goals are to get the MRI, continue to wean the vent and possibly do her first pressure support trial this afternoon or evening. She will be sedated with a fentenyl drip and paralyzed again for the MRI but only get one dose so I am hopeful she will not have a delay in waking up from her sedation and paralytic like before.
We are feeling excited about the possibility of extubation in the next day or so. Cross your fingers that my little bean sprout has another good day, she is already proving how very strong she is.
