They bathed (wiped down with wet towels) Raena about 5am and she did well through it all without vitals spiking too much, the only tense moment for me was watching her O2 level drop down below 90 for a few seconds but the Respiratory Therapist was there to make sure everything was ok.
Her blood pressure is still a bit high, on the borderline of where they want it but they seem to not be too worried atm.
The biggest issue is she may have a mucus plug in her throat that is constricting the airwaves. The nurses can’t put the suction tube down because of this blockage to get mucus out. They are calling an anesthesiologist to put her under and use special tools so her head doesn’t have to be moved and she doesn’t react to the procedure so they can replace the vent tube.
This procedure should happen sometime soon, it scares me a bit to think she is so sedated and can’t breathe on her own yet they will be extubating her even if for a brief moment to reinsert another tube and remove the mucus plug.
