So far so good for today. They're still slowly weaning the vent. His setting is at 12. Down from 40 when we were admitted! They're doing it slowly so they don't stress his heart. He had a bit of a tachycardia episode and they had to sedate him so his heart rate would go down. It happens a lot when they move him to another side or change his diapers or suction him. They did all 3 of those and he got mad. I can usually calm him. Or Joe. But, I was pumping and Joe was getting me Starbucks. They also put a note in his chart not to swaddle him. I came back and he was swaddled and pissed. Lol. So I told them he hates that. They un-swaddled him and his hr started going down a bit. So she said she was putting a note in his chart in big letters. That's the 3rd time he's been swaddled and I had to tell them not too. So hopefully that helps and no one else tries it. He's having another echo today. They want to see if his heart is tolerating the weaning. Hopefully it is. If it isn't, they obviously won't extubate him until it's able to be tolerated. So we're waiting for those results. His carbon dioxide levels are a little higher. But she said that's to be expected as they wean him. And it will go down when he's able to actually cough and get stuff out. That's all we know for right now.
