Day 6 Guillain Barre Syndrome, still in an induced coma, the nurses and respiratory therapists had to do manual breathing on me using a bag valve mask (BVM) today as something happened. It has many names like Ambu bag, manual resuscitator or self inflating bag which is a hand held device used for patients who are not breathing or not breathing adequately.
My parents believe the tubes may have been unhooked when changing my positions. They knew something was going on as they had to leave the room , the nurses were hurrying. My mother was very upset and there alone as she watched on unable to do anything and worrying. The nurse Renee was excellent, she went to talk to my mother in waiting room and said these things do happen from time to time. It seemed like an eternity for my mother before Renee came in to talk to her. My mother kept walking to my room checking but the curtains were still closed waiting and worrying.
They had to do another Bronchoscopy today using the camera again removing mucus from my lungs. I also had a slight fever and I received my 4th dose of IVIG today. They were also checking my heartbeat today and blood pressure during treatments and it was good.
