Today my oldest daughter graduated from Missouri Southwestern and I missed it. There is really nothing else to say after that, it's unbelieveable.
John was sleeping and on the t thingy and breathing by himself, with on 40% which is the equivalant of about 10 liters of oxygen. John was using 4-6 when he went in the hospital. He stayed on it for 15 hours today, then went back on the vent. He doesn't know that though. He slept through it. Barely moved. Slept through a broncosopy, a bath, and they sat him in a chair, and he was awake for maybe an hour, then fell asleep in the chair. He is weak, and disoriented. Didn't remember much. They started testing for infections around 9pm due to his lethargy. They don't really think he has one, they think it's medications, and they stopped the methadone today. It could also be from breathing on his own, and being weak from the effort. He woke at around 10 after they put him on the vent, for about 45 minutes. He knew me, but didn't really know where he was, or why. They must have given him something for his blood pressure, it dropped to the 90 or 40 range. Truc, his nurse was watching it, and she has had John for a patient often. Tomorrow, I'm supposed to take the kids for school stuff, and Martha will stay, then Monday, she has something to do and I'll stay. I'd stay anyway of course. Someone also indicated that he might have to be in a rehab center for awhile instead of leaving the hospital and going home. They are supposed to start being more aggressive with his physical therepy tomorrow, and possibly fix something so he can talk with his trache. But so far physical therepy has meant sitting up in a chair. But I don't have time tables, and it sure didn't look like much would happen tomorrow as he isn't really moving, but he always fools me.
