Backing up... the surfacant wasn't given until today... They had to change the circuit again due to some issues they were having. Typically that happens every 7-10 days, but Averi is on day 12 of ECMO and has had two circuit changes.
Due to the circuit change, the ECMO weaning has been temporarily suspended to let her recover. Babies often have an inflamatory response to the new tubing and equipment that their blood is coming in contact with, so this is just a precautionary measure.
The dialysis machine has been switched. Praise God for Michelle, their favorite night nurse, who stood up for Averi and said that she just had no more fluid to give! Because of that, no fluid is currently being removed.
