This afternoon we replaced 10mls an hour of pedialyte with liquid hope formula. It went decently for the first four hours and since that point she has been vomiting, uncomfortable, and having some respiratory distress. She is still coughing so much and producing copious and thick secretions. Not great. I am going to switch her back to 20mls an hour of just pedialyte for tonight and reassess in the morning.
We had another training session today to learn about trach infections, some of the vent features, and how to use the ambu bag with the trach. We each had a turn disconnecting the vent and breathing for her with the bag. Aimee was very patient with us.
