Emy likes to keep everyone on their toes! The good news is that she was extubated today. She is happy to voice her opinions again. Unfortunately, she is exhibiting the same signs and symptoms she usually has when an infection isn’t under control. The conundrum is that she is currently on broad spectrum antibiotics, so it’s unlikely an infection, yet she has the symptoms of one.
Please pray for God’s hand to be on her at this time— to keep her safe from illness and to give her comfort. Also please pray for her providers to have insight and wisdom as they make health decisions for her. My hope is that her high heart rate is due to residual pain from her surgery, her low blood pressure is due to her fluid status, her low temperature is due to the CRRT fluctuations and the whimpering/restlessness is also due to pain or related to her change in respiratory support since being extubated. It’s hard to know why she is not acting herself. Please pray for the team to identify the source of these issues, to treat them swiftly and for the treatment to be effective.
