After a very busy last few days, it was a relief for everyone to have a quiet day. R was switched to the conventional ventilator today. As of this evening, he continues to do well with relatively low settings. He has been on two medications to make sure his blood pressure stays up. One of those medications has been cut by half throughout the day and his pressures have done well.
The primary goal for today was rest. That will continue through the night. I will be curious to see what the doctors will order after rounds tomorrow.
During her visit this afternoon, Jen was there when R woke up. She was excited to be able to talk to him for a few minutes and let him hold her finger. He still is medicated quite a bit, but it was good to see him open his eyes and move his arms around a bit.
Thank you for your continued prayers. We will be praying for his kidneys to begin to work and that he can be weaned from the ventilator.
