It took about an hour to get Savannah intubated due to a narrow airway due to genetics and irritation from previous tubes causing her increased swelling. The surgery itself was expected to take 2 hrs, but took less time than her intubation. Her vitals held strong through the entire process. They decided to leave her on the vent due to possibility that she may not be able to be reintubated if the occasion arose. She is resting now, but trying to take breaths on her own and moving around a bit. Also, her belly was big enough to go ahead and give her the button which is the better option to feed her. They will possibly start her feeds tomorrow all depending on her vent.
God is still in the miracle working business you guys! Never lose sight of that! It's all because of Him how well she held up in that operating room today!
On an even better note I was glad to hear that two friends of mine's kiddos gave their life to the Lord this week! Amen!!!
