Wynter was on her back most of the night, on heavy sedation- but her heart rate and respiratory & 02 levels kept dropping- so we were up most of the night just trying to keep her stable. I got about 2 hours of sleep. By early this am she was thrashing around a lot- we finally got her temporarily comfortable on her stomach- as seen here. Her meds bring down her O2, so we are playing a balancing game. They just took out her catheter, but she is starting to itch her face off- I think the morphine is making her very itchy. They are not hearing any bowl sounds- so they want her to have ice chips- which she wont eat! Her mouth is cracked and bleeding and she hates all the cords- she tried to sit up- but this thing is so heavy that she falls right over- but doesn't want to lay back- so thats where we are.
Oh poor baby! That halo is bigger than her!
