The journey continues
Well, today has been up and down. We got the breathing tube out, Success! He started struggling, lungs got wet, considered reintubating, moment of panic. Medications cleared lungs for the moment no need to intubate now, Success! Difficult to arouse, not very responsive, blood pressure up, few steps backward. Very agitated, hurting the nurse, extra restraints, few more steps backward. Calms with persuasion from Jay and Teri, kisses nurse's hand, success! Needs Gastric tube placed in nose for medications, another set back. Sleeping quietly, SUCCESS!
