Whispers

They held Ayden's feeds last night, and they began him on CPAP trials. There are rumors of extubation. Ayden is on 25% oxygen on the vent, which was less than where he was last time he was extubated, and he did well on the trials. I believe they have increased Ativan and Methadone so that they can wean Delaudid and Versed; they need to have him off some of these drugs so that he will breathe on his own, should they extubate, but they don't want him to freak out like he did the last time. Of course, they are also making sure that all else is well (diaphragm, infection, etc.) before they go pullin' the tube again. I believe they started rounds in the other pod, so it will be awhile before I know more.
