Ok so we have not extubated yet but it's just cause they want her to be a little more awake so she can handle her coughs. She was too dehydrated so they decreased her medication that makes her pee and that increased her secretions in her lungs, causeing her to cough more.
This means we wait another 18-24 hours and re-evaluate but she is REALLY close. They just don't want her to get off too soon and have to be reintubated.
