Havyn Update


Havyn had a pretty rough night and morning. At about 4 am today she had some major breathing issues so the doctors took an X-ray and saw she had a bunch of air outside her lung on the left side that had pushed her left lung closed and had pushed her heart all the way onto the right side of her body. They put a breathing tube in her mouth and then they used a small syringe in her chest to remove the air.( The white patch in the photo is where the syringe was.) They kept getting more and more air so the decided to put in a chest tube with some suction to keep the air out. She also has some lines going in her cord/bellybutton that they use to monitor her blood pressure, her gas-blood level, and to give her lipids and such. You can also see a gray box thing that is giving her two different antibiotics as a precaution because of all the procedures she has had this morning.
