David had a fairly good day. When I arrived he was already awake and sitting in his high chair rocking out to Taylor Swift. In fact, he was greeting everyone who walked past his room. His provider thought he should still be sleeping. That's the thing about Davids - they take 2 morning naps and … Continue reading June 4, 2024

Today was a restful, but also quite a busy day for Mr. David. He was laughing up a storm this morning, but neither Adam or I can remember what was so funny, before he fell asleep again. After he woke up, his nurse was going to do all the things she had postponed while he … Continue reading May 28, 2024

As David's provider summarized it today, the plan for the day was no changes. Although, that wasn't exactly right. She compromised with the doctor apparently about his diuretics and they went up on it, but just slightly. David is still very much fluid overloaded, and his lungs are feeling it. They have him on oxygen, … Continue reading May 25, 2024

t's hard to say how David is doing - he still fusses quite a bit when he's not moving around in his wagon. However, it's hard to know if he's uncomfortable about something or just expressing his dislike for his helmet. He seemed to enjoy his mama roo this morning. After enjoying those swings for … Continue reading May 17, 2024

David got to go to the floor and pet Fern today! That was definitely the highlight of his day. Once he felt how soft she is, a smile came across his face and he started petting her - it was a sight to behold. If only the puppies waiting at home would be as calm … Continue reading April 17, 2024

David's cardiologist came and spoke with us first thing this morning. She had spoken to his surgeon since we last spoke yesterday, and since David is progressing, albeit at a snail's pace (my words, not hers), he doesn't want to make any decisions about David's future at this time. He would like to see how … Continue reading April 16, 2024

David had a really good day today. It started off a little rocky - he had trouble settling down for his nurse overnight. I forgot to mention they stopped his delirium med that he would get at bedtime last night since he had been on it for a month. His nurse ended up giving it … Continue reading April 13, 2024

Small changes for David today. His feeds had increased fortification added to them - from 22 kcal to 24 kcal. He was on a weaned vent setting for SCUBA last night and did well (12/6) - reduced PEEP even. We know his lungs really appreciate a PEEP of 8 though, so he was on RAM … Continue reading April 11, 2024
