Mission Hospital

On Monday we found out that even professional people are not as professional as they should be. We learned that regardless of what people say it's best... God DOES know what's best. Amber was suppose to go to Orange CHOC to finish recovery but instead she is closer to home where the nurses know Amber and know us, she was transferred to Mission CHOC to finish recovery. She is still intubated, they will make the decision to extubate when they think she is ready. Dr. Goodman is in charge of her, he was also the doctor that assisted when she was delivered. She is a little swollen not sure why.

Today, I stopped by to thank all the people in my bible study group in person. I said thank you for all your prayers, please keep praying for her so they can extubate and let her heart start working like it should. To give her strength, protect her brain and let her recovery smoothly. We prayed together and then I left. When I got to the hospital they said they were thinking about extubating after doing a 24 hr test sprint. So this means they will let her breath on her own while intubated for 15 mins 4 times during one shift, evalutate and contunie for another shift. If she does well they will extubate. Tonight she did very well during the 15 minute sprints so for the next shift they will try 20 minutes.
