Well, the breathing tube that "never comes off" came off again. This time in two places! Fortunately, I knew the drill from yesterday. The respiratory therapist came over along with 2 nurses for a crowd of 3, smaller than yesterday's four person crew, which I think had 2 respiratory therapists. This time he only desated into the 50s rather than the 30s, but his heart rate went under 100, so I did get the scary sirens that come with these belly scraping episodes. I think it would be safe to say the honeymoon is over here at the NICU after 5 weeks.
The good news is that Anders is down to 3 liters of oxygen from 4 liters yesterday. He has been extubated for a week. Anders is 32 weeks today. He really enjoyed his hold with me today. Anders stretched out quite a bit and did he patented collar bone grab. He's enjoying a hold from his mother right now.
If these nurses could just figure out Anders' series of interconnected tubes, we would be good.
