Extreme Makeover - Vinoos edition!


Vinoos got extubated last night and she passed with flying colors! When we arrived on shift this morning, she was sleeping peacefully and breathing easy. It was the most relaxed she has been in days and everyone was glad to see her so happy. For the past two days, she has been rolling around in bed, and this is what she's done to her hair......


I'd like to say we made short work of fixing it, but it actually took some serious time! I spent about 30 minutes gently combing it, and then we finally got some spray-in conditioner to use as detangler. After wetting, conditioning, and more combing we finally got this:


Today she surprised all of us with her mellow personality. She has been so wild the last few days - never laying still, that we were all shocked to see her so content all day long. Her mom brought her some clothes and one of the volunteers bought us some hair ties. Here she is all dressed up with her hair done:




We had kind of a slow afternoon in PICU so I went downstairs for a little while and we played with bubbles and toys. Halbast is such a ham with the camera! He cries as soon as he sees me, because he doesn't like his chest physiotherapy. But when he sees the camera, the crying turns off and the charm turns on! Of course, he loved the bubbles too. =)





Yasna went home today!
Ayad goes home tomorrow!
