We had a very good sleep last night and we both feel a lot better. We got to the hospital just after 12 and Katy was just like she was yesterday.
She is on her back,doing some small movements, a few little yawns and she has given us a several glimpses of her beautiful eyes. We got to talk to the Doc straight away and there was lots of info (and a little bit of waffle too).
Her heart scan showed that her duct was quite big. This is not a massive issue, but may need treatment if she can't cope with breathing on her own. It may also get better on its own.
They will have just given Katy some caffine to get her ready for extubation later today,or tonight. They seem to think that it is likely that she will not tolerate being without the tube, but they need to test her out really.
I think her breathing is more regular today,and she is definitely breathing more calmly. There is still the spectare of her brain bleed to worry about and this has to be taken into account when making choices.
Her mass has increased, but that will put pressure on her heart,so the have decreased her fluids. It's a bit like a see-saw, the adjustments are so small and they have such a big effect.
Hope you can all have a relaxing afternoon. I suggest a nice walk.
