Tracheotomy here we come...

Well all, I had a brief visit with PJ tonight, mainly because I am exhausted after work today and I think that I need to rest a bit. PJ had a good day today. The doctors have asked for consent to do the tracheotomy on PJ for tomorrow. They said that although he is doing well, his lungs are still not great so he will need the ventilator longer than they can keep him on it through his mouth. So tomorrow he will be getting the trach around 10 - 11 am. I have a lighter day tomorrow so I should be able to get up to the hospital a bit earlier than today. So PJ is doing well, tomorrow is a trach and I will update the blog tomorrow morning to let folks know how everything is going.

Thanks to everyone for all the thoughts and prayers. They are greatly appreciated.

Morning Report 12/5

Called the morning nurse, Scott, this morning and he told me that PJ had another good night. No episodes of desaturation which is what we want. They are going to bronch him today and told me they have to change some lines and tubes so that it would be good to come up in the afternoon. Hopefully we will have another good day today when I get up there and there will be more good news this evening.

Thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers, they are greatly appreciated.

That is all for now,
Chris
