Day 6 - August 25: Overnight Report

🌙Overnight Report:

Breathing was a little bit desynchronized with the ventilator last night so they checked ABG levels which were slightly abnormal as well. They changed the ventilator mode again to help with this and he's doing so much better! 

The nurse also noted change in breath sounds so they gave some Lasix and he's doing much better with this and had great output in the night as a result of the medication. 

Labs overall looked good. Some electrolytes were low (related to meds given) but they're replacing these today. 

They also gave medication to help with shivering and he still has the bear hugger warmer on. No further shivering after meds. 

Sedation medication is currently at a lower level again (they have to adjust these to find what he needs at the time- it's a balance)

CT Scan scheduled for today. They decided to hold on MRI last night for more support/to decide the best timing. Especially considering that yesterday when they laid him flat he did have a lower heart rate (became bradycardic). Which was resolved by elevating his head again. 

🙌🏻🎉Praises:

Good night last night and great supportive staff are caring for Dad!! 

Continued support and love and encouragement from everyone! Especially prayers and verses shared.

Continued safety while traveling. 

Strength, wisdom, provision and healing from God. We're continuing to see His hand!!

Mom got some extra, much needed rest this morning!!

🙏🏻❤️Prayer Requests:

Continued prayer for restorative healing for Dad.

Timing for MRI.

Strength, wisdom, grace, and all else that we might need for today. 

Pray for our medical team and the people we're interacting with. We're asking for those around us to see God's love and that they would have salvation in Christ and come to know Him for themselves. We serve an incredible God and we know that He is working! ❤️🙌🏻🙌🏻
