ICU Day 1, Night 2

Well,
Aine was doing well and then..... She is still doing well, but she was having a hard time keeping her respirations at a good level and her heart rate would spike, so an early chest x-ray was called and they found that her left lung is not fully inflated. She was removed from wall oxygen and placed on high flow :(
After she was calmed down she was given respiratory therapy to help open up the lung. She will receive 1-2 more treatments prior to another x-ray at 6am. Hopefully this will help her out.
On a good note she started to receive food at about 6 pm tonight & we are working on her second meal right now which is going well.
Hopefully I'll know more later today & it will all be good news.
