We waited all day, lots of nervous energy building up because of what we were told in the morning. Katy has been stable all day. Still comfortable, but dropping her oxygen down quite often.
Between monday and friday Katy had about 10 "bradycardia" where her oxygen dropped. On Sat and Sun, she had over 30. Leanne and I think that this is being caused by the tube. It can get blocked, cause irritation and move around.
We were present for the doctors change-over at about 2030. They said that the drops were being caused by the tube, and they might extubate tonight, def tomorrow.
Katy is fine, and the tube is not causing too much damage because the pressures are so low. We just want it out so she can be more comfortable.
Lets hope that, when it's out, it stays out.
