Day 17


I got up really late today, partially because I did go up to see Anya briefly last night, and partially because her nurse called me at 5:30 in the morning to tell me of a change in condition. Honestly I don’t remember what it was exactly, because after she explained it to me I asked if it was going to affect her long term and if she was stable now. The answer was probably not to the first and yes to the second, so I went back to bed and slept for another 5 hours.

When I finally got up to the hospital her post ductal oxygen was down, and her ECMO settings were up, but other than that she looked good. After being there for a while I noticed her post-ductal sats were going from the high 70s to the mid 90s (100 being normal). I didn’t say anything to her nurse thinking that the fluctuation was normal; her nurse came over and had seen the improvement at the desk and wanted to see for herself. She continued trending up even hitting 100 on occasion until we left for supper.

She was also very alert today, I wanted to stay with her as long as she was awake but finally we had to go; here is the video!
