Not a good start to Elizabeth's first Thanksgiving. She started having problems earlier keeping her oxgyen saturation up her numbers dipped down into the 70s and they decided to start the nitric oxide again. She was put back on higher ventilator settings and a rate, where the vent helps her breath. She was on 100% oxygen when all of this happened and finally recovered after a few hours and was able to wean down to 75%. They did some blood work and found her hemoglobin level was down so she was given a blood transfusion to help with that. Then about an hour or so ago she started dropping again on 100% oyxgen, THANKFULLY we have a great nurse tonight who was proactive and as soon as she saw her dipping into the low 90s high 80s she got the Dr. So they decided to put her back on the high sedation meds fentanyl and versed drips and will possibly be paralyzing her again if she doesnt respond quickly to that. They have also decided to put the arterial line back into monitor her blood pressure and to get more accurate blood gases from.
