A new day, a new story!~
So, Friday they indeed did take Jerry off the respirator. It was quick and relatively painless. He then struggled for several hours trying to maintain his oxygen saturation. Finally that is under control and he's not on 100% oxygen but on a regular O2 cannula. Then there was what they call the ICU neurosis....that was weird. Several hours where he had no idea where we were or why, was paranoid about the nurses and wanted me to get him out of here!
He is now resting comfortably, has a great night nurse, all the tubes and wires are in place as they should be. Turns out that without kidney function, the pain meds just stayed in his system and confused him. Also, when he was on the vent, they never really got him to a deep sleep so he was restless the whole time. SO>>>>>>>he is exhausted now!
More in the morning! Thanks for your continued prayers, calls, cards, and love!
