Saturday night late update…

They have decreased the breathing machine to 14 breaths per min instead of 16 because of Co2 levels. Raena has soaked her pads and it seems urine has been leaking from the catheter so they needed to change her pads and insert a new catheter so it doesn’t happen again. While doing this her O2 levels dropped to almost 90% but they came back a few mins later. The nurses said this was due to exertion from her body and her blood needed to be resaturated with O2.

They also added another tube up her other nostril (ng tube) that goes past her stomach and into the beginning of her intestine to be able to start feeding her nutrients. They will basically be feeding her something similar to baby formula by injecting food through a syringe directly into her stomach.
