No pleasing him today!

The ONLY thing Sam is interested in is "more!" More to drink and more pink swabs is it. He is literally hysterical about it at this point. The only way he calms down is if you put the rails up on his bed and walk away either sitting in the back of the room or leaving completely. He can have some water by mouth, but we have to limit his total intake to 300ml, which is not satisfying to a kid that will down 50ml in about two seconds. It is pretty pitiful, but there isn't much we can do about it. If he has too much fluid it will go straight to his lungs. They are working to get his sodium levels down, them being too high is what makes him feel thirsty. They are so high because we are diuresing him so much. We are weaning his high flow oxygen and can hopefully switch him to the wall later today. They pulled his art line out, so now all he has is his pic line in his upper right arm. We are slowly making some progress :)   Please say a prayer that his sodium levels will come down. If he could get over being thirsty, he will pretty much be back to his old self!

Sound asleep when we got back from lunch :)
