We were just informed that Savannah had to be re-intubated because she was having some major breathing issues with the Nasal Canula. They now have both arms in restraints to prevent her from pulling out the tube. They are going to keep her intubated for another few days so they can manage her pain, which they believe was the major cause of her breathing episodes.

The surgeon also wants the nurses to keep an eye on her incision because the color seems to be a little off.

Please continue to pray for our sweet little Savannah.
Our sweet little Savannah decided that she no longer need the ventilator and extubated herself from the vent. this morning. When the nurse heard the bells going off she noticed Savannah waving the tube in her little hand. They quickly put her on Nasal Canula at 3 liters to help her breathe. So far she is doing ok, but is requiring a lot more oxygen than she has in the past. We are hoping this will change as her pain medicine wears off.
