Though we can't believe we are saying this but somehow this afternoon Daniel managed to knock out his breathing tube. In medical terms he extubated himself. Not a good thing no matter how you term it since the Drs. had to re-insert Daniel's breathing tube outside the operating room and every time this happens, as you can expect, you can cause damage to the trachea and the surgery site.
Just for perspective, when Daniel was in the NICU he probably extubated himself at least one time for every time he was intubated. How it happened, we haven't got a clue since he is pretty much out of it and his hands are in restraints. All we have to say is that once this child is back to his old self, we are in TROUBLE!! Daniel continues to keep things interesting for us!!
Hope your day is less exciting then ours........
