This cow is blue


Alex has been awake a lot today which is good and bad. It's nice to interact with her and read to her but she's more uncomfortable when she's awake and tends to fight the ventilator which in turn makes her blood pressure go up, etc, etc. It doesn't help that they've decreased her pain meds either. These next couple of days might end up being rough so please say a prayer for her. During rounds the docs say that she's proven to be a tough case to treat. She's not had the "typical" run of RSV so they are watching her closely and trying to keep a good balance of comfort and alertness.

Here's praying for a comfortable night for you all. Balancing sedation and weaning of a vent is never easy, and it seems as if your little Alex likes to throw a few wrenches in now and then! We are praying for a smooth road.
