Turtle Team

Sorry for the delay tonight, but I was being a hands-on mommy for once, and boy, is he feisty! He wrangled a good grip on his breathing tube, and had two grown women wrestling to get his diaper changed :) That's my boy, and Daddy would be proud!! 

Grammy & Poppy P. came to visit tonight and got to see Kayden slightly awake :) They got PICU nursing 101 from nurse Lynn, and then we got some milkshakes across the street from Friendly's... not too shabby. 

Kayden had a good day today, no drastic changes - that would be WAY too speedy for this little turtle - but little steps. His Peep (amount of pressure left in his lungs after exhaling) was weened successfully down to 7 today. It needs to be at 5 for extubation. The plan is to go to 6 tomorrow and then 5 Thursday. Now, they say POSSIBLE extubation Friday or Monday. *I'M* not holding my breathe this time :)

Annnnnndddd my awesome event of the day: I won the laundry battle with the lady who is - no, *WAS* - obnoxiously doing 75 loads per day! ALSO I got moved into a sleep room with WINDOWS....oh yeah, serious things happening in our sleep quad today :) 

I worked today for a bit and had some pretty awesome clients. I added some lime green streaks in our friends' hair, for Kayden. Mom, Dad, and both girls got one done! I ordered lime green extentions also, and they will be in tomorrow. I can't wait to get my turtle extention :) Here are some pictures of Kaydens first turtle team members <3 

Tomorrow (or rather, today, since it's 1:00 am) is my day with Maxon. I can't wait to get home and have him find his Elf... Whom, by the way, he named Special Agent Pants. 3 yr olds... I don't get it. 

Finally off to bed... Looking forward to day #13 here at CCMC, and with it, bringing a Peep level 6! 

Goodnight friends!

XOXO
