Finally this big tube comes out of my nose!


Finally, the big day has come for Victoria to be extubated. It has been one month of having a really big tube in her nose to assist with her breathing and to help rexpand her lungs that collapsed about one month ago from pneumonia. She is a trooper the nurses can't believe how well she has done with the tube in. Most babies need to be sedated or are just plain miserable. But Victoria always makes the best of every event. She has been busy playing as much as possible with the tube. We can tell it bothers her at times. She coughs a lot because it rubs in the back of her throat and gags her at times when she gets too rowdy..... We are praying that the extubating goes well for her ..... She also had another ecogram of her heart today and we will hear from the doctors tomorrow about the status of her heart. Please keep her in your prayers for a speedy recovery from the extubation and for her safe return home. We will keep you all updated. Thanks for all of your prayers.
