New Year’s Day

I am feeling terrible today. My heart rate stayed up high all night and really got my parents concerned. My mom spoke with the doctor that morning and told her that her gut feeling was telling her that something was wrong that I was sicker. The doctors previously had been thinking of extubating me today. When the doctor came into check on me she did find me looking much worse. The next thing you know they are taking away the ventilator I am currently on a normal ventilator and now they are  putting me on a high frequency oscillatory ventilator. This machine is pumping air into my lungs much faster than the other one. The machine basically vibrates my entire body. I stay on this ventilator for three days.

Mom and dad were surprised to find me looking like this and hooked up to this machine. I am not looking or feeling so good right now.

Love Malia
