Extubation # 2

So today started as an OK day Bryce was behaving, until right around 1pm he decided he didn't like his tube again and pulled the new one out...... Just like yesterday he changed colors and was pissed to say the least, it took a little while but they re-intubated him again for the second time in 12 hours..... This time was not as nerve racking for me because I had seen it happen once already... They tried to put it in his nose again because he seems to be happier that way but they couldn't do it so its back in his mouth. Then in rounds they decided to up his feeds by 1 ml every 12 hours and discontinue some of his other nutrients that he gets through IV's. They took out Bryce's arterial line, and when he had that in he had a board on his arm to keep it straight... WELL when they finally took the board off and the board had cut into to Bryce's arm so deep that they have to call in a plastic surgeon to decide if it needs to be stitched! I am not happy about this! It could get infected and I bet its what has been making him so uncomfortable for the past week.. Which I have been telling them! As soon as the board came off he was much better and more comfortable! Thats good at least but I feel bad he had to suffer all this time. Its bad enough with everything else thats the last thing he needed, but at least its better now. I didn't get to hold him today but hopefully tomorrow.
