Brinleigh's Instruments



  We thought it would be interesting to take you into Brinleigh's world.  These instruments are vital to her health.  It is very overwhelming at times.

The first picture is the Monitor that is right next to Brinleigh.  This tells at a glance allot about how she is doing.  It shows her heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen level and I believe her co2 is also on this one.  They can add and subtract what they want to monitor.  When something is out of range it beeps and we all look up.  It beeps allot.

Another picture is a bank of 'stuff' that is all her medicines and fluids.  At the time of this picture all but one of them was used to give her some type of fluid or medicine.

The next picture is her ventilator to that regulates her breathing.  She has been on 3 different ventilators during her care to this point.

The picture that has Carrie in it she is looking at Brinleigh as she is in her isolate.  It is a very controlled environment to simulate the womb as much as possible.  It keeps her warm and is her own little environment.  She is covered allot again to make it dark like the womb.

Another picture below shows all the 'hookups' that Brinleigh has attached to her.  Sure glad someone knows what they all are and do.
