Astral away!

Posted on

Today they are trialing the Astral 150 go home vent on me. It’s hard work transitioning to a new vent and ultimately a different way of breathing. But apparently this newer vent provides up to 8 hours of battery power and weighs about 7 lbs. Beach anyone?

With a PEEP (air pressure support) of 8, I’ve been working major overtime to breathe, sweating a lot more, and napping more than my usual Party Time Ein mode. I was so fatigued, I had to lean on daddy’s shoulder.

Napping with mommy 

“Please leave me alone, go away and stop pricking my heel for a blood gas”

“And close the blinds while you’re at it”

Grown-ups are lazy

The upright humans seem to think that putting a bunch of toys in front of me will keep me occupied and entertained. Well this is what I think:

😴💤 bore bore snore

It also took them forever to realize pee and poop was riding up my ENTIRE left side and back. How uncomfortable! 😡GET IT TOGETHER UPRIGHTS!

Today I was very happy to meet one of mommy’s close friends that kept me company and showered me with attention while mommy was busy pumping. I hope she comes to visit me again ❣
