Over the course of the last 2 days, Vanessa's progress has stalled. The nasal canula she was on was not providing enough oxygen to her blood so she had to be re-intubated. We were warned that this would most likely happen, but it is still so disappointing. Breathing and eating are two of the most important obstacles for a preemie to overcome, and I really thought that we had tackled one of those obstacles. She was initially re-intubated at a high setting, which to me was most concerning. However, the nurses and doctors say this is typical, because essentially she wore herself out on the nasal canula. She has already started to ween again on the ventilator, and the plan is to again try to get her off the ventilator. One postive today, she is going to start feeds!
