Well, I've only been here an hour and Dad has managed to give us a lot of drama.
He was doing pretty well when I came in. His oxygen levels were at 50% and they had changed the respirator to where he could try to breathe some on his own with the respirator backing him up when he couldn't breath.
He was very agitated and fighting to pull the tubes out, but good (relatively speaking) other than that.
However, his vital signs kind of freaked out and all the machines starting beeping and all of a sudden the room was swarmed with nurses, PA's, doctors, respiratory therapists, etc. They spent a long time fighting to stabilize him, calm him down, etc. His heart now has an irregular heart rate which they have not seen with him previously.
His oxygen level now is back up to 100% and the respirator is again doing all of the work.
It's frustrating and scary. Please continue to pray for him. We are so very, very thankful for your support and concern and prayers.
So sorry to hear . . . we're still here, watching and waiting with you.
