Quick trip to ICU

Last night was a real rollercoaster of a ride. About 9 PM, Aimee was getting a dose of medication through her feeding tube and may have had some reflux. However it happened, she stopped breathing entirely and went Code Blue (meaning life-threatening emergency for the few that may not know). The emergency team rushed in and used a hand bulb and face mask to start breathing for her. They moved her to the ICU in the following ten minutes and kept breathing for her the entire way. They asked to put in a breathing tube and we decided not to do that because it is so invasive and painful for her. They told us that she was not breathing on her own and that since we did not want the tube that she would pass away fairly quickly. They brought a couch for us and pulled all the wires and tubes hooked up to her. Then they pulled the breathing mask and left us alone holding her. At first she had a very hard time breathing but after two minutes or so, those cute big eyes popped back open and she looked at us as if to say, "Something going on around here? What you crying for?" So after 15 or 20 mins we got her back in bed and on monitors again and we moved back OUT of ICU this morning and will probably head home on Tues or Wed. This little girl loves attention but has some scary ways of getting it. Please be praying for us though because this kind of thing can happen at any time and may even happen again very soon. It is very serious right now and we are leaving it in God's hands as to what happens. Breathing tubes are very uncomfortable and even painful for a person especially a 9 month old infant; you have to be sedated to keep from panicking or pulling the tube out. We decided a long time ago that life support was NOT an option for us or Aimee and we have filled out the paperwork that puts Aimee on a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) order.
