Well darn, I spoke too soon about the temp pace maker coming out. It seems he is back in junctional but handling it well (meaning his blood pressure and heart rate are ok) but they still need to monitor him. So the pace maker is only going to be used as a backup but they want it to stay in.
The chest tubes will come out though! This may also help his oxygen levels. Right now he is hanging around 82 and he really needs to be in the 90's. This will also make him more comfortable and be able to......walk! Wish me luck in convincing him to do that!
His blood pressure is really high right now. They are going to increase one of his medications to see if that does the trick. Also he could be in a little pain making it go up so he got some medicine for that a few minutes ago and then he ate pancakes:-)
He is still going to a room though so we are leaving ICU!!! Kinda looking forward to that. As much as I like the nurses and the one on one here I think it will be nice for Nathan to have a playroom and be able to start opening all those great toys people have sent his way!!!
More to come today I am sure! Plus Ill have a shower....and that will make everyone happier!
Update more soon!
