This morning started off with a bit of a shocker to us, hearing that David was on the list to head upstairs.

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.

Today had a lot of happy moments, some sleepy moments, and a few grumpy moments for Mr. David. Somehow, he completely slept through his echo and later his EKG. I don't know how that happened.

He's still agitated and going through withdrawal, so it's not time to wean them yet. His vent setting was reduced … Continue reading April 9, 2024

Today, David's right upper lobe of his lung is more collapsed, so to try to get that opened up David is now on SCUBA for 4 hours followed by RAM (I think this is the term they used - I'm not sure if it is BiPAP or another setting but it's with the nasal cannula) … Continue reading March 26, 2024

Apparently David knows quite a bit about superheroes because he won trivia today. All while being transported to IR and having a PICC line placed! Good thing his mom accompanied him on this trip, because she knows hardly anything about superheroes. David was brought down by someone from respiratory, his nurse, his NP and his … Continue reading March 12, 2024

I don't want to speak too soon, but it was a fairly uneventful day. Overnight, David missed his friends and invited everyone into his room to check out his arrhythmia. It turned out the solution was to just unplug him from the pacer.He was fairly calm today - definitely showing emotion when he does not … Continue reading March 5, 2024
