Day #6 ICU

What a Night!
Anyone that was here last night was wishing Aine would stop crying and go to sleep - including yours truly. She had a bad case of the gas and the need to poop. We got some of it out, but didn't catch the gas quick enough so a bunch of it ended up in the intestines. We are going to get her on bolus feeds as soon as we can so that I can start venting her again to help get rid of this problem.
They are discussing sending her to the floor today! So crazy to think that we will be going to the floor. One step closer to going home - so exciting, as we sure do miss the family and sleep :) I'm not sure however if she needs to be lower on the high flow or if they will accept her at 4% (she was NOT on bipap last night!!!)

Since Aine was waking up so much last night and it was really a waste of energy to go to sleep, I decided to try something new and started a website/blog. It's kinda fun to do - so now I'm hoping I can keep up with it.
