Saturday Update

Emma had a somewhat difficult day today. They replaced her ET tube, and while adjusting it, it slipped out, and they had to intubate her a second time. In the end, the tube is now entering through her nose, which one would expect is more comfortable than through the mouth. She has needed a few percent more oxygen and an increased vent rate, but we're told that is to be expected from time to time given her age. So far no heart murmur, hopefully it's gone to stay. Emma is tolerating food again, and is up to 5cc of breast milk every 4 hours. Overall she's doing well given the circumstances, but the little things that pop up on a daily basis are a constant reminder of how fragile she is.
