Setback

UPDATE: It turns out that the re-intubation was the cause of everything last night. Her breathing tube got clogged with blood/gunk thanks to a coughing fit during re-taping. Viv just wasn't able to recover on the conventional vent, so they put her back on the oscillator. The good news is that she's right back where she was, and they are going to try the conventional again today (but with more sedation).

Well, in true CDH fashion our highs have once again become lows. Vivienne started having trouble on the conventional vent last night and was having difficulty expelling CO2. Her breathing tube also become displaced and she had to be re-intubed. She is currently back on the oscillator. The good news is that she's stable. We're obviously disappointed, but this is just how these things go sometimes. We'll post a full update this evening.
