sad visit in the nicu today
So my son had been doing really good and actually had his best day yet on Wednesday and then Thursday I went in to hear that he had tons of spells Wed night. He continued to have more spells Thursday and today. He had the worst one he has had yet today so they put his breathing tube back in. It was so sad to know what he was going through to have them put it in. I didn't realize that they were going to give him medicine to paralyze him while they did the procedure. I felt so helpless not being able to pick him up and hold him and tell him everything is going to be ok. It really sucks. I felt terrible leaving him today knowing that he was so out of it.

It's always disappointing, but keep in mind that any time off the vent is good for their lungs. It gives them a bit of a break, so it's fantastic that you got that.
Robbie was off the vent 3 times and back on before finally ridding himself of the vent on the 4th try. It started to feel like it was never going to happen, and even when it did, I was skeptical.. but man.. it was good to see it go.
