Failure

Everyone expected her to do great. She did not.

Everyone was ready. She was not.

I had nothing to do with the decision to remove her from the vent. Just sayin...cause I know some are thinking it. It was a decision made completely by the professionals. They are just as stunned as I am about today's events.

She failed and is now resting once again on the vent. The sounds of a machine pushing air in and out of her lungs are all that can be heard.

Failure at any level is devastating. Failure at this level is more devastating than I can even describe.

By the way...her blood gases are PERFECT! Explain that to me. Please.
