We have had a good weekend, not too much going on. Yesterday they tried to make one of his iv doses of lasix to oral, but he had an episode last night of desating and faster breathing. We gave him a dose of iv lasix and an albuterol neb and he settled out fine. Brian flew home early this morning, and we are already missing him! Sam has spent the past two days walking the halls in the stroller or napping. He is still on pretty good doses of methadone and ativan and getting one or the other every two hours. We defintely need to come down on those because he is pretty out of it. I think that is why he is not tolerating the wean in diuretics as well too...the farther out from surgery you get the more you should be able to wean, but he isn't doing anything but riding in the stroller or laying in his bed, he doesnt want to play or walk or anything. Hopefully that will change in a day or two.
Tomorrow is Halloween and they do trick or treating here at the hospital. They will take the kids to all the different floors to get candy. We have a costume, not sure if he will wear it or not, and I am also wondering if he is going to sleep through it! If he does that is fine...trick or treating is not my priority at this point!
Halloween pajamas this morning.
Woody pajamas after we got poop all over the other ones :)
You can tell by the pictures how out of it he is...not himself yet, but not constantly screaming for a drink either, so I'll take it! Funny how quickly your perspective on things change around here.
