Josiah is not extubated but the plan is to extubate him tomorrow at 10:00 AM. He had a good day. The staff physician wanted his oxygen level weaned. It went from 50% to 45% to 30%. The other concern was that he didn't have much of a leak in his tube. Before extubation, he always has a number of doses of a steroid which should help prevent his throat from closing after the tube is removed and it usually helps produce a leak around the tube. This tube has now been in him for four weeks. Hopefully his leak will be bigger by tomorrow morning. We found out around 3:30 PM that he wouldn't be extubated. Graham will be present for the extubation while I'm with Isaac.
Time for bed! Thank you for your prayers!
Blessings,
Elizabeth
Dear Elizabeth and Graham,
ReplyDeleteJosiah, you and Isaac have been in my thoughts and prayers all day. I pray and trust in Jesus' name that Josiah is supported with power from above and his lungs, muscles, throat, mouth, heart, brain, liver and and all bloodvessels and organs are working efficiently, and Josiah is relaxed,comfortable and feeling good.
For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.
O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in Thee. Psalm 84 verses 11 & 12.
I will bless the Lord at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth. Psalm 34 v 1.
With faith and trust in God.
Love from your auntie Julia.
Praying for a God-blessed wkd with lots of holding and may God guide the extubation. Love, J.E.
