They had to increase his oxygen because his sats started to drop into the 80's again. His sodium was normal today at 140 but his potassium was still a little low. I talked with Neuro and because he isnt having as many seizures they are keeping his meds the same. We should be able to start the Sabril tomorrow evening. They were having some problems with his Central Line but the IV team was able to get it cleared. His blood sugars are back to normal so they are fairly certain the high levels were from the TPN. His nose is very sore so they moved the NG Tube to the other side. They are going too try and decrease his oxygen again to day. He is awake for 1-2 minutes at a time and is a little more alert today. Dr Y said he is finally headed in the right direction. The nurses here are wonderful. They have taken the time to get to know Aaron and talk to him all the time. Although he gets good care at his regular hospital none of the nurses there have never taken the time to get to know him. They are in and out of the room without a lot of patient care. The nurses have NEVER given him a bath at his regular hospital and when he wets through the bedding they just add a pad on top of the wet bedding. The pump alarms go off for extended periods of time and Aaron sees the student nurses more than his assigned nurse. It is always a very stressful time for the both of us when he is in the hospital. This time Aaron seems more relaxed and it is a much better environment. I wish his Drs could see him at this hospital.
