Not a ton to report today. They took his vent setting down to 14 bpm and a pressure of 16. He's doing well on that. They also set his pacer at a lower level to see who is heart would do. They had it at 115, now it's at 100. His heart has consistently been at 120. 130 when upset. Which he was a few times today. Mostly when they changed his dressings. They took out 2 of the chest tubes and his central lines. He was not pleased with them removing the adhesives. :) but I'm sure he liked having less tubes. They also decreased his nicardipne. That is a blood pressure med. and they switched him from morphine and versed to methadone and Ativan. I laughed at my 2 mth old being on methadone which is a drug you hear being used for meth addicts. But, it is being used in this case to get him off of the versed and morphine in a safe way. They also did another echo and a chest X-ray. Everything looks great except he has a lot of air in his belly. Explains why he was so gassy today. Other than that, he's doing great. No major changes. Just slow decreases of everything some can safely get all the tubes out.
