10.12.10 (Day 5)

Early morning, Asher, wakes up 2 hours early from sedation and begins pulling out the ventilator tubes!! Nurses try to keep his hand off the tubes while they wait for the order to extubate (remove vent tubes), they made the comment that Asher has already made the order, and they began to remove the tubes. He was then put on a high flow (nose tube) with the oxygen set at a very minimal setting. He made the adjustment better than expected. Another echo test (heart/lung pressure) was done and the results were awesome, he had gone from an extremely high pressure reading to a moderate one. Praise G-d!! After a few hours his body blood pressure dropped and they had to increase the medicine. His infection levels were tested and came in lower than the day before! The T-Billi numbers were extremely low, so they stopped the phototherapy treatment!
