A Bit Discouraged

Lynnea had a rough day today. She spiked a fever again -- 103.6. She had a fever all day, and along with the fever came other issues like a really high heart rate, high respiratory rate, and high sat's (which for her is a bad thing). Her PEEP was weaned to 5, and she did some pressure support trial time today, though not nearly as long as the doctors had hoped (they turned her ventilator rate back on when her fever went way up). But, even with all of this, the plan is still to attempt to extubate her tomorrow.
