Today was a big day. After being almost 24 hours without fever and seizures the team decided that it was time for Chloe to be extubated!! At the same time they felt it was a good idea to do a repeat lumbar puncture to make sure we were heading in the right direction.
The lumbar puncture went smoothly and we will hopefully know the results at the very latest Monday. The extubation on the other hand wasn't without some excitement. From what we were told, once extubated, Chloe had much difficulty breathing and required multiple breathing treatments to help her breathe easy. The team contemplated re-intubating her again if the treatments did not help. Three breathing treatments later Chloe was breathing much easier and has been a superstar.
Happy Birthday to my beautiful and wonderful wife!! Chloe's extubation was a wonderful present for her. We're moving in the right direction now and pray everything else falls into place.
Rethier, Michelle, Olivia & Chloe
