So....Dr. Lucena is the day doctor this week. He is the director of neonatology. Tim and I had a meeting to discuss the possibility of a trach. While it is definitely still on the table, he still wants to give Molly a chance at extubation and move her to CPAP. Today might be that day. She has a blood gas at noon. That gas will decide whether or not we move her over to CPAP. So, I have some specific prayer requests. Please ask all of your friends to say a few prayers for Molly. Please pray that the CO2 at her noon gas is less than 60. This will determine whether or not the vent can be weaned to CPAP settings. Please pray that Molly can successfully be extubated and moved to CPAP. Please pray that Molly's lungs are strong enough to stay on CPAP. If she can stay on Cpap for 24 hours, she has the best chance to stay on it and not have to be reintubated. Please pray all of these things for our sweet Molly. I will update after the noon gas to let everyone know the outcome. Thank you to everyone!
