Emilia is on CPAP again
Emilia is (back) on CPAP. They "extubated" her in the evening and she's no longer on the ventilator. However I don't think her X-ray results were too impressive. I have a feeling the only reason they took the tube out was because she had been ventilated for 12 days already. The nurse told me that they try not to go more than 10 days and definitely not more than 14 days. Whatever the reason was, she is no longer tied to that stiff tube that goes into her nostril and I am happy for her. Now all she has to do is do well on CPAP so that she does not need to be intubated again. Emilia, let's surprise all the doctors and nurses! Keep on breathing!
