Isaac was able to move out of his suite in the PICU and up to the Penthouse today!
Poor Isaac has the flu, RSV, bronchilitis, and pneumonia.
On Wednesday morning he had a high fever, was so irritated with his BiPap, and getting continuous Albuterol that his heart rate was high. They were giving him Tylenol and Toredol, but his fever was not breaking. So, his nurse put ice packs on him and ordered a cooling blanket. He was also given Ativan to calm him so his body could rest. His fever went down and he fell asleep and his heart rate came down too.
Thursday, Zane stayed at the Hospital. Isaac had a fairly good day. No fever and in the evening they took off his BiPap mask and let him be on a nasal cannula for an hour. And then of course the mask went back on and he became irritated. The nurse kept asking Zane what comforts him and of course it’s food, which they weren’t ready for him to have. The nurse tried to get him to take a pacifier but he knows it’s not food.
I took Emmett to play glow in the dark miniature golf.
And he suckered me into letting him ride this car.
Friday, Isaac was able to be off the BiPap mask and on a nasal cannula three times for a couple hours each time. He was able to take a bottle each time he was on the nasal cannula.
Saturday, they let him eat when he wanted, so he was on the nasal cannula almost every three hours. In the evening we moved out of the PICU and into a room on the Pulmonary floor. We do not know how much longer they want to keep him, but he is moving in the right direction.
