What a stinker!

Here's my update from Facebook:
Joshua decided he didn't want his breathing tube in this morning. He got his hand behind the neobar holding it in place and pushed it out! Thankfully his nurse was in the room and able to bag him quickly and give him manual breaths before his O2 levels and heart rate fell too much. So they had to reintubate Joshua yet again; the nurse said he handled it pretty well though. What a stinker!

And here is what some people said:
Jessica E - I think that sort of feistiness is going to serve him well!
Brian K - A guy who knows what he wants!! That's the spirit!!!
Sarah H - Sounds like you have a little man who knows how to get what he wants! So glad the nurse was right there <3
Mary Rum - I hope this is an indication of the character quality of bravery and strength!
Rachel K - thankful he's okay!
Lore E - I'm glad he's ok. I pray that his lungs will improve soon so that he won't need the tube any longer.



You with your new tube and neobar. 

I am so thankful you are okay.  Often times the nurse leaves the room and is tending to her other baby and would not be able to get to you right away.  I'm glad she was there, that the Lord was watching over you.  I hope that next time if you decide to do this that they won't need to put the tube back in that they can try you on C-pap again!  I sure hope that this feistiness does serve you well, that you continue to fight and be strong and courageous.

In other happenings today:  The baby that they brought in yesterday, your new very, very tiny next door neighbor must have passed away today.  He/She was SO tiny and small from what I could see as I spied through the window.  This morning when I came in the curtain was pulled and the window was closed, but I could see an empty bed as I glanced through a crack in the curtain.  Later in the day the room was cleared out.  I asked our nurse from yesterday, but she wasn't able to tell me anything, because of HIPPA.  It just seemed weird to me that a baby died and then they just "disappear"  How many other babies have died since we've been here and just never noticed?  I'm am so thankful for Joshua's life.  Life is a fragile thing especially in a NICU.
