I woke up this morning at the hospital thinking that Penny would be
extubated any minute. Silly girl apparently didn't get the memo. The
lower part of her left lung shows some atelectisis (alveoli that aren't
inflating well) that have to be reinflated before she can do well off of
the vent. So she's getting some different treatments to help open those
little guys up and get her moving air! We are still hopeful that she
could be extubated this afternoon so please pray that her lungs return
to full function and that she has no other complications that might slow
down the process.
