Saw Dr K this morning. She was sorry he was still here. The plan is to get him off the oxygen and breathing treatments so we can go home. He continues to be more alert and awake for longer periods of time. I think he is sleeping later in the morning because he is getting his night meds later than he does at home. He loves the new toys I got for him and is moving around a lot more in bed. He is still having diarrhea but the Dr thinks its from the antibiotics.
At 4pm he had a breathing treatment. The respiratory therapist turned his oxygen from 5 liters at 50% to 5 liters at 35%. His sats dropped and stayed at 76. They increased it to 40% and he tolerated that much better. Thankful for small steps with Aaron.
Midnight he had another treatment. They tried to turn down his oxygen and his sats dropped again. He had a hard time getting tham back up and was finally successful at 7 liters @55%. Its not unusual for there to be setbacks with Aaron.
He has been running a temp on and off all day.
