Day 12-August 31: Overnight Report

🌙 Overnight Report:

Great night, came down on Fentanyl

🙌🏻🙏🏻Vent setting so that he's breathing on own (vent only supports if needed),  possibly extubating today? If all #s look good, the team will start talking about it (might wait to give him some time to ensure he's ready) 

Chest X-ray, labs, cultures? Labs looked good, no cultures back (no news is good news), just took X-ray (results not back yet)


❤️🙏🏻 Prayer Requests:

Dad's continued and complete healing

Everyone traveling on this road with us

Health, protection. That any of Satan's attacks would have no hold and no power here. Christ has already overcome!!

Wisdom for the medical team to know how and when to extubate and how to best care for Dad

Day 100- November 27th: Discharged!

Image
Today has been such a blessing! Dad was discharged from Upstate and has returned to "Castleview"!!! 🥳🥳🥳  Dad did well on the drive and made it home before any snow storms! 😀 Thank you for your prayers!!  The JP drain was removed from his head yesterday as the drainage had essentially resolved and met criteria for removal. 🙌 A not so comfortable experience but  made it through! Thankful to have his dad there for support during the removal and got a few extra stitches as part of this process. Repeat CT scan was good!  Yesterday had more opportunities to get out of bed and visit with family. Pain had overall been well managed with Tylenol for 24hrs plus. Today, got clearance to shower and had incision cleaned. Learned how to care for the incision and signs to monitor for infection/complications. Plan for follow up in 2wks with neurosurgery to have stitches removed. Dad reports already feeling an overall improvement in mood and feeling "more normal"!🙌❤  Must say,
