Sunday 3/1
Another good day... White count is about the same; hemoglobin is 9.3, up from 8; and potassium is 5.4 - not a huge concern. Heart rate is 91, bp 124/73. O2 input is still 50%, and O2 saturation is staying at 96-97. Peep is down to 13, which is better. Respirations are 31-33. He is on the same antibiotic, Cefepine. His fluid retention is not as bad, and he did not get any Lasix today. They are still getting lots of mucous and secretions out of his lung. Everything else is the same. Looks as though he'll be on the respirator for at least another week. His eyes have been sometimes open and blinking again today. He's still on the Atavan and Fentanyl.
Thanks for all the great messages!
Love,
EJ

I'm very pleased to see that Ron's heart rate is down and his blood pressure is up to normal today. The rise in hemoglobin is good, too. Also VERY good that his oxygen sat. rate is in the normal range. If his lungs and blood weren't working better, that wouldn't be happening!

Sounds like things are looking up. Can't wait to talk to you buddy. Dave
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it sound like steady improvement over the past few days! Still keeping all of you in our prayers. Hang tough!
ReplyDeleteRon - hope you are in the "swing" of things soon as Mark and I have found a good baby sitter and hope to be down (or have you guys up) a couple of times this summer to golf!
