Sedation was finally achieved. Yeah! Ethan was settled. Je had a relatively uneventful night.  Just what I wanted. That was my gift.  Hopefully the psych team can come by later and give direction on what to do medication wise to help with the delirium.

I didn’t sleep as well last night as I did the night before. Probably my own doing. I was keeping an ear out for what was going on in the room. My wonderful nurse kept things very quiet. 

I noticed tape around his thumb and pointer and middle finger.  His thumb has gone to jail. She had to tape Ethan’s thumb to his hand because he was grabbing stuff and just pulling on it. She said that he can still break through all the tape but it slows him down. Ethan’s thumb will be able to be paroled when his delirium is under control.

X-ray came. I thought he looked even more murky today than he did yesterday. Of course I am not a radiologist, but that was my assessment. They are getting out some funky stuff.  Maybe that is normal once they start moving and coughing? Maybe I am reaching to be hopeful?

So far no blood pressure drop, lung pressure increases with dropping his oxygen AKA pulmonary hypertensive crisis, which is what I refer to as a recipe for a mother’s worst nightmare. I am hoping he behaves today.

I have some music playing for him and he is resting comfortably. ❤️
