Ron's tracheotomy is scheduled for 10 a.m. tomorrow. I will need to be here by 8:00 a.m. They said it may take 1 1/2 hr. to 2 hrs. to do both the gastro tube and trach. Hopefully Ron will be a lot more comfortable not having the contraption in his mouth and down his throat.
No real change today. He is on 7mg of Atavan, and has not needed any Fentanyl yet today. Temp was 101*, and later came down to 99*. Still 50% O2 input, and 93-94 O2 saturation. Peep is still at 10. Bp is 118/70, heart rate 96, and respirations 36. His potassium is still 5.4, so the low-potassium food hasn't made any difference yet. His rash has not gotten any worse, but is still there, mostly under his right arm and some on his right chest. He is still on the Cefepine antibiotic.
Everyone's prayers are so appreciated! When I get tired and worried, I read your messages and cards to Ron, I feel your support, and it truly does help!
Love,
EJ
