Ava's gas was 47 today. They are hoping to go down in sedation and vent settings tomorrow. She is on a peep of 8, 34 bpms, 50% O2.
I spoke with the charge nurse today (who was rude with us the other day). She has asked a nurse (who is wonderful) to help us with training for Ava. They don't want to teach us the home vent until she is closer to coming home because they think we'll forget. Doubt that, but they are going to teach us everything else. They don't want the trach trainer to train us either in the meantime since Ava is using a trach with a cuff which helps block the air that escapes around her trach (leak). I have been quite emotional today with seeing Ava lay there, plus I didn't get to clean her up today since I was late getting in before the nurses shift ended.
Praying for Ava to come home and be happy...
