Extubation tomorrow?

Ethan's numbers are looking beautiful. If all goes well tonight they are going to plan taking him off the vent tomorrow. Nothing is ever a guarantee, but it is looking good.

I don't think we mentioned before that they released his tongue when they did the scope. He's no longer tongue tied, so hopefully he'll keep his binki in his mouth when he's off the vent. The sad thing is that his tongue was all swolen Fri & Sat. Since he is sedated it was just hanging out and his lips were all dry. It was so sad. :( today he looks much better. He's just sleeping peacefully.

As much as I hate to see him sedated, he's really doing better. His co2 has been 40's & 50's! I guess the rest and lack of thrashing really helps him.

Alli has just been all over the place this week. One day sleeping all day, the next fighting it. Poor thing will be so glad when her brother finally comes home! She won't know what to do without getting in and out of her car seat every day.

Yesterday she really started sucking her thumb. So cute! I took some video. Now to figure out how to get it off the camcorder and on the computer... You'd think I would know, wouldn't you? :)
