Day 2 in the PICU

Overall his night went fairly well. He was in a lot of pain when they bathed him and changed his sheets but otherwise he was okay.

Not so much this morning as they change his position every 2 hours and that is really painful for him.

Respiratory came this morning and gave him his breathing treatments and made him cough once afterwards.That was really painful for him as he had tears running down his face. Resp. said that he still has deminished sounds in the base of his lungs as well as some congestion.We are working on blowing bubbles to take deep breathes.

Vascular said that he is doing really well from their standpoint.He has really good pulses and all his vital signs are good. He is having a low grade fever but that is to be expected after surgery for a few days.His blood Pressure has been doing really well today.

We were told today that we will have the NG until at least day 5.It may be longer with all Broc's G.I. issues.

C-Diff is off the table for now which I am very happy about otherwise it would be isolation for us.

He is more alert today and watching videos on my phone.Still not talking a whole lot.

Thank you to the people that came to visit yesterday.Your company was really appreciated by Mark and I. Thank you too for the gifts for Broc.It was very sweet of you.

We appreciate all the e-mails,txts and phone calls. Also your prayers and loving support too.

I am not sure if there will be another update tonight as they rounded at 11.30pm last night.
