Morning Update

We got a call this morning at 4am. They had to re-intubate Josh last night. Dave took the call so I don't know if I got all of the information correct but here goes. He had more heart rate drops and one that they had a hard time recovering him from. Iris (one of the fellows) said that sometimes babies with chronic lung disease have something like asthma attacks so they gave him some albuterol which helped a little but not enough. They gave him more lasix but came to the conclusion that he was working way too hard and because the heart rate drop took awhile to get better they thought it was best to put the tube back in for a short time. They did a septic workup (just in case he has some low grade infection) to rule that out as a cause for his issues.
