Extubation Day 5

We will see tonight whether the Twins can match Anders 5 day streak.
I have the divider closed in the NICU "lounge" (it has a Brown House type set-up for those who know the Institute) because the loony infant massage lady has some fresh meat in her den.
Anyway, Anders remains extubated on cpap. His settings are rather high, leaving the chance of reintubation. Yet, reintubation is not imminent. He has a small infection from the tracheal tube he had while intubated. They will continue antibiotics for a couple more days. They talked about taking his pic line out tomorrow, but I don't know if that has changed due to his infection.
Apparently his problem is not his youth, but the cloudy spot on his upper right lung. Once they get that haze to clear, his breathing should really take off.
His sodium remains good. Nothing else bad to report. His feedings are still going well. He just needs to get that right lung firing on all cylinders.
I walked to the U of M library for the first time today. It's only about a 10 minute walk. Not surprisingly, their political history section is not picked over as is ours at Alden Library. I got some useful information from a Michael Deaver book.
My goodness, the infant massage lady is nuts. She has the cadence of a drunk Bob Woodward.
