I just had a discussion with the attending that will be extubating Emily tomorrow, Dr. Nelson, and she is excited about following Dr. Schroth's extubation protocol. She is using Schroth's "triage" scoring system to see where Emily is to determine how she looks for a successful extubation and she is comfortable following the fasting recommendations, cough assist pressures, and vent and biPAP settings that are recommended by Dr. Schroth. I just couldn't be happier about the way this is going. Emily is still experiencing some atalectisis in her right upper lung, so Dr. Nelson wants to talk to Dr. Schroth about what she thinks for extubation. All-in-all this is very encouraging and we are encouraged and comfortable with the plan to extubate tomorrow as long as everyone is in agreement that it is best for Emily given her continued right lung issues.
This is what we've really been pushing for and I can feel my body relaxing a bit as we finally are starting to see appropriate measures being taken for Emily's benefit.
Peace <><
