So we've had a little setback :( they decreased a setting on his vent this morning in preparation to extubate. Well, when they did that he started sweating. Enough to have to change his sheets. Then they had to change his diaper and suction him. He did not like that. His hr increased. Which is normal. But it wouldn't come back down :( so, they had to give him some sedative and morphine and increase the vent to give him more support. His gasses were a little low too, which is bad. I hate that he can't be extubated today. But of course, I want him to be safe too. This sucks! They're going to try again tomorrow and see how he does. Our favorite nurse is back on tomorrow. Hopefully she can work her magic with him and help get that vent out. Sad that we've been here long enough to have a favorite nurse :/. Joe is with him right now and he said he is wide awake and calm. Which is great. I am so nerve wracked. Each day that passes with no heart I grow more anxious. I just want him to get his new heart and come home.
