Waiting

This morning in rounds, we talked about extubating Lynnea today. Then we discussed the fact that it she might not be tolerating her feeds (she was only on 9mL/hr) so it was decided that it would be a good idea to turn off her feeds for 24 hours to see if that made things any better. Since extubating her would add another variable to the equation, we decided to wait to extubate her. At this point another day one way or the other probably doesn't make much difference. She seemed to have a more difficult day today than the past few days -- less movement, lots of crying for no apparent reason, difficult to calm her, etc.
