Today has been a pretty rough day. Audra's right diaphragm is paralyzed. Right now it is not moving up to restrict the air in her lungs but once she is off the vent, it may move up and stay up. So the plan is to take her off the vent tomorrow morning to see how her diaphragm and lung do. She may have to have surgery to keep the diaphragm down. Whether she has surgery or not, the diaphragm may regain function in 6-10 months. Then again, it may not.
We also did a follow-up hearing test that found that Audra has some hearing loss in her right ear. She cannot hear high tones. Right now it is too early to say if this will have any effect on her or not.
Please keep Baby Audra in your thoughts and prayers. She could use it!
We love you, sis! Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!

ReplyDeleteOh no! Wyatt had the similar issue with his diaphram, then they diagnosed it as brochiomalasia and said he had diaphram "slug". Whatever it may be they will figure it out and they will get her through it :)
ReplyDeleteMuch love to Audra and your family
Saying prayers for you all...
