Well today is a lovely day!
I called to check on Scott before I went to work and they said he was about the same. Okay that's better than worse. Around 2 my phone rang and I saw the number and dreaded answering, but I did.
They decided to take him off the breathing machine and take out the ventilator tube. They also started weaning him off the BP meds that were making it stay UP . I asked why and they said because he is breathing well enough on his own, and we did dialysis and his BP stayed up at the borderline good level, so we are gonna let him see how he does without the extra meds. We are leaving him on all his usual heart meds that he has been on for years. Okay..
I really did not know what to expect when I got there. When I did, my hands were cold because it has been freakin' snowing here...and I touched his shoulder and said his name and his eyes flew open trying to focus, though they are still having difficulty doing that.
The nurse came in and said..try to get him to squeeze your hand. She had gotten to open his eyes but he wouldn't squeeze her hand. They are weaning him off the sedation too..and wanted to see where that was going. I asked him to please squeeze my hand and he did. very hard. I told him he didn't have to break it, that I got it.. LOLOLOL
They still have him restrained because he wants to yank out tubes. but he tried to growl at me. I said yeah yeah, growl, I love you too...I made him more signs and even one with a dinosaur that said RAWWWR that means I love you in dinosaur.
any way, I needed this sort of special today.
lets hope tomorrow is just as beautiful
love woobie
