Ethan had a pretty good night, slept most of the way through the 6:30am blood draw, only to wake as they were finishing pulling the needle out! This was an instant answer to a prayer I said as soon as the lab tech walked into the room. He suffered enough with the 3 pokes to start the new IV that I just couldn't bare to see him wake up to pain this morning. We've been awake ever since but are in good spirits today.
The cardiologist today came & talked to me after rounding this morning. He said that yesterday's X-ray looked good so he was going to do another today to make sure everything is still looking good after decreasing the Lasix yesterday. If that looks good, they will switch the Lasix from IV to oral this afternoon!
Dan came over around 10am & he came on the walk down to the X-ray lab with us. It'll be nice to have him here for the day!
Also on schedule for today, they decreased his oxygen to .1L (the lowest possible!) & if he can keep his pulse ox sats at 92 or above until this afternoon, then they'll get rid of the oxygen! Ideally, I'd love for that to happen before we go up to the playroom but I don't want to rush it & have to go back on it (or even worse, have to up the amount of o2).
