Ramona Mae

Ramona was extubated a few moments ago, cried her raspy two-pack-a-day cry and fell asleep. She’s now sucking on her paci and snoozing. It’s lovely to see her sweet face again, and to look into her eyes. She’s still pretty drugged up but is otherwise doing well. Her sats are in the low 90’s on 3 liters of nasal canula. We are hoping they are able to wean this off and still keep her above her baseline of 80.

It’s a bummer to be spending Father’s Day in the PICU. The tubes I had in mind for this day were bratwurst.

Just spoke to the nurse. The fever continues, she says it is “more concerning”, but she did not seem overly alarmed. They plan to extubate her today after rounds if everything goes well this morning.
