Try again

Elijah's xrays looked great this morning, so they are going to try to extubate again today. The xrays looked great the last time they tried, too, so the doctors are being a little extra cautious this time around. We've turned down his vent and are going to just monitor him for a few hours before pulling the tube out. I PRAY that it is the right time! I'd rather have him keep it in for another day or two than have to go through the intubation process again.

He had a very tame night and is being such a good boy today. We had to take him down the hall for a test earlier and he was a trooper. Gotta see that sweet smile soon!!!

We'll update again later, once we see what happens with the extubation. Prayers! Lots of prayers!
