This child of mine



before



Tonight I find myself asking... Why does my child keep trying to die? Ellas tubes were WAY more eventful than anyone would have liked. Her ENT said she did great getting the tubes, it took 10 minutes, she had an infection on the left (I thought so!)... then she stopped breathing, and had to be intubated. Once they thought she was okay they extubated her and she yet again stopped breathing and had a severe laryngospam (which closes the airway) eventually they got her re-intubated etc. etc. and after almost 2 hours she finally came out of the OR. During this time they discovered that Ella's airway is TINY. Much smaller than it should be, Dr. Meier also questions whether she has some type of lung disease so we will be seeing a pulmonogist for all of that. Overnight we had more fun and had "abnormal cardiac tracings" so we spent the day with cardiology. Everything turned out fine with that. We are now home, Ella is doing just fine. I need a drink.
