Ah, the waiting, waiting, waiting.
Well Dean is now off the versed (no more sedative).
I think I may have made a mistake regarding this Peep (ventilator), as of this morning they have turned it down to 8. So if all goes well and he tolerates the weaning process and they continue to turn down by 1 notch (if you will) per day, then the ventilator should be turned off in 8 days. Go Deano!!!!
Jade, the nurse for the past two days, is taking really good care of him. She puts vasilene on his lips and rubs lotion on his hands, arms and back. Are you sure you aren't having a little to much fun there, Deano? Hmm, I wonder. Jade also continuously plays his CD's for him and she trys to maintain a safe quite environment for him. She is aware the he seems to react (increase in ICP's) to noise and being moved.
Last night they only had to drain 1 time. (Very good).
Where do we go from here????????????????

Get some sleep Teri, those 8 days will never come if you keep adding saturdays into his week? giggle! 25th and 26th is too much for me. Very nice about the versed. Baby steps! One step at a time! Oh Jade! My lips, hands, arms and back are dry..........I'm sure when this is all done and he gets to go home he'll look forward to one of your meals, made with your hands. He'll be tired of jello to. Just a quick hello to day. Bed is calling.....Ihope when i wake tomoorow it'll be monday and not another saturday. Maybe that would be a good song title or poem title for this time in the hospital. too many saturdays or something.
it sounds like he has jumped through another hoop with the versed. I hope he gets to smile at you soon. in all the pictures you have on the blog he's smiling. i don't know if you noticed but he smiles bigger when you're in the picture!
