Well,
That could be considered a Really Rough night!
At about 10pm we found out that Aine had a left collapsed lung. This was causing her to be really upset & increasing her breathing.
They ended up lightly sedating her to calm her down and started respiratory therapy on her. Another x-ray was taken at 6 am and no change was found.
She is continuing with respiratory therapy today, has had an ultrasound which showed No fluid (so she will not have to have an additional chest tube placed :) She will have another x-ray to check the status of her lungs and then they will decide which machine she will be on (high flow or likewise).
They feel good about popping the lung open & are hoping that it is just a plug or something that is blocking the entrance & that they will be able to get it out & get the lung re-inflated.
