Good Gases

Connie's blood gas an hour after extubation looks great, showing that he's tolerating breathing on his own. He's still working a little hard, but hopefully that treatment for the stridor will be effective. Keep praying for a smooth night. We had to give some versed to calm him down but we walk a fine line here. We want him calm and not working too hard to breathe, but we don't want him so calm he is too tired to breathe. It's kind of a balancing act.
