Emma's Equipment


These are Emma's machines. From the left to right she has: A pulse ox machine which tells us her heart rate and the amount of oxygen in her blood. The big one in the middle is her ventilator which helps her breathe when she forgets to. The machine with the clear and blue tubes coming out of it is her heater for her vent. It adds humidity to the air she breathes. The machine on the far right is her feeding pump. It pumps her special milk into her 'mickey button' which is a port put into her belly so we can feed her. She also has a machine that suctions the mucus from her trach and drool from her mouth but its not in the picture because we 'hide' it under her bed.
