Oh What A Night.

It's not a good sign when you meet the nurse who was taking care of your baby during the day shift and she looks at you with a sad face and without saying a word, hugs you. Not a good sign. It's also not a good sign when you ask her a question and she responds, "Umm...the doctor is waiting upstairs to talk to you." In a way, it gave us a moment to prepare for bad news. We walked into Sydney's room and saw quite a bit of activity over her bed. Apparently we arrived just minutes after they decided to intubate her again. When they were about to put her on the CPAP they did a blood gas and the results were just awful. That's when they made the decision that they needed to get her back on the ventilator immediately.

So far, there's still no sign of infection in any of the tests they have done but they are talking about doing a MRI and spinal tap tomorrow just to check her thoroughly. They did another blood gas just about an hour after she was intubated the results were perfect. She is at 28% on the vent now and they are already working on weaning her. The doctor said they reviewed her charts and they notice that she started having more and more desats when they stopped her caffeine. Prior to the last 10 days, they were just considered normal behaviour but now they think she may need the stimulation for a while longer. She got a dose of caffeine earlier and they will go back to daily doses as of tomorrow.

Here's what we know for sure: God will be glorified in her life. There's really nothing else that we're sure of besides that. He is in control and prayer changes things.
