Day 34 of Life - July 22nd

The little one had to be reintubated last night and is now back on the conventional ventilator. He is currently at a rate of 30. This isn't really a big surprise, as it was the first time that Sha tried the Aladdin and he had been doing all of his breathing on his own. It's to be expected that the little one would get tired, but his lungs got a little break from being forced to breathe...and now they are getting a break from having to do it on their own. They had to reintubate him because he kept throwing temper tantrums and couldn't maintain his blood oxgyen saturation levels...but it's still a step in the right direction.

Pa might get to hold him today, as long as little Sha behaves...which doesn't always happen, but hopefully, he will co-operate today!
