Wed, Jan 23, 2013 / Day 7:
Penny, my mother-in-law, came up with me today and it was a happy day! William finally seemed to be turning a corner and was doing so much better. A lot of change was made today. They were able to pull two chest tubes and the pace wires. They were able to take away certain medications so that he was on 6 instead of 13 and they even started feeds. It was little - 6 cc an hour but it was a start. Overall they decreased the settings on the ventilator and also decreased sedation medicine. The only negative was that his blood count was low so they did need to give him more blood. He did so well with all these changes. He even woke up for a little bit while we were there. It was so good to finally see those eyes and watch him follow me. I know he was young at the time but I think he recognized me and knew who I was. It was such a good day after so many days with no progress.
We loved all of our nurses but Kim was with William the most and we loved her!
