Today was a big day for Zoe Hope as doctors tried to extubate Zoe (extracting the breathing tube running through her mouth and into her lungs) and move her over to a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) ventilator. Unfortunately Zoe only managed 30 minutes with the little tubes in her nose before doctors decided to re-intubate (new tube down to the lungs). They have however moved to a ventilator which they can use the CPAP ventilation technique with the intubated tube. Over all I suppose this is not a step back as Zoe Hope has improved on the pressures required and stability for now.
Zoe Hope well done today my girl!
