Things are going ok today so far. We are hopeful that trend continues. Ray's doctor
told us this morning that he may possibly be released Sunday or Monday.
She keeps pushing it back but that's OK cause I don't wanna take him
home until he's ready! Possibly removing all these monitor & IV
connections today & will begin weaning him off some of the meds too as we
prepare to transition for the move home.
Last night was quite busy all throughout the night. They had bandaged Ray's hands because of all the blisters that were bursting & oozing. During the night the swelling in his hands went down enough to cause the bandages to come lose & even fall off so they had to come in & re-bandage them. Then he had some spells with severe pain just above his abdomen which they are contributing to gas maybe. That caused us to need the nurse to come in a couple of times & evaluate the situation. And then the monitor he's hooked up to had to act up a few times which required the nurse to come in & adjust it to stop the annoying beeping. Wouldn't you know too that for some reason Ray needs to get up to use the bathroom more during the night than the day! Oh & lets not forget his vitals that are taken at certain intervals, even a night. Between 3AM & 5 AM each morning they come in & draw blood so the doctor can review them when she does her rounds.
It will be nice to get home & have some undisturbed sleep.
