AM update- post surgery

So Abigail had a good night. I had a friend, Angela (mother of another HRHS kid), offer to stay night with her so we could get a good nights rest at home. We thank her so much for doing this, she is a great supporter and very knowledgeable of whats going on. She sat at her bedside throughout the night. Abigail was extubated (breathing tube removed) this AM, so now breathing on her own with a little O2 going into her nose. She is having some labored (difficulty) breathing (retractions). Her chest xray was good, suspect that just some swelling from breathing tube. She has been given breathing treatments and steriods to decrease any swelling. They are medicating her well with morphine and versed to keep her comfortable, she has had her eyes closed most of the AM. She does move her arms and legs a little, seems a little restless. Her platelets have increased (in the 200s).Her face is a little puffy, which is expected. They have now decided to try her on CPAP to assist her with breathing, to try to decrease the work she is having to do on her own. CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) just "assists" her, forces extra O2 into her lungs.
