All we can say is that Daniel is one little wiggle worm. He spent most of last night and this morning trying to break out of his sedation. I mean who would not want to sleep for five days straight?? Daniel's breathing tube continues to stay in place - thankfully - and he continues to do what they need him to do.
They did have to do a sonogram on Daniel's left arm this morning because of some swelling and they wanted to make sure that the PICC line was still ok. We are waiting for those results now and are hopeful that all is ok.
We are on for 12:45 p.m. on Monday for his scope and downsizing of his tube. There is a possibility that the Drs. might extubate him in the OR due to the large air leak he has acquired. Believe it or not an air leak is a good thing in this situation. So we will see what happens on Monday.
And "Mean Mommy" finally made her appearance last night and this morning. Though I never thought I would have the nerve to do it I asked for the removal of one of Daniel's nurses. Mike and I had a feeling last night as soon as she came on duty she was going to be a problem and we were right. Not that she did any harm to Daniel, she just was not attentive at all. With only three days left and one past self extubation already behind us, we just had to do it. Oh well - haven't we all gotten yelled at once in our life?
So we continue to move forward and keep our fingers crossed that the weekend will be uneventful and things will go smoothly on Monday. Until then.....
