Sofia generated excitement in the nursery yesterday when she partially extubated herself by grabbing onto her tube and pulling it out. Unfortunately, she could not make it on her own and was reintubated. Now that she is older, she is frustrated and unhappy with the tube in her mouth. They discovered when trying to give her a larger tube that she has some airway constriction, which may need to be investigated prior to any future extubation. Sofia has made a bit of progress this week on ventilator settings and her oxygen is about 30% today.
Daniel is continuing with a small bottle per day for one of his feedings. He is also working on maintaining his own temperature. Once he can do that consistently, he can be in an open crib. Mommy gave him a bottle for his noon feeding today and Daddy rocked him in the afternoon. Mommy also kangarooed with Sofia, which was beneficial in helping her to settle down.
