Waiting For Decision

According to one of his doctors, Jayson's lungs sounded coarse yesterday evening.  He said there seems to be some liquid retention in his right lung.  Jayson was therefore given medication to help his body remove the excess fluid. Another chest x-ray was done this morning around 5:00 a.m. to see if his lungs had improved. We are waiting to hear the findings.

Fever was at 100.5 at 5:30 this morning. This has been the lowest temperature during the last 48 hours. According to the nurse, his fever just went up to 102.5 at night compared to 103.3 the night before.  So, we hope that this is an indication that he's starting to improve and his temperature will stop being an issue.

Jayson once again is showing us he's tired of lying in bed.  He was attempting to move his legs more to the point of removing one of his boots off his feet.  He was restrained by Henry and the nurses and was temporary given a little more sedation to relax him.  Henry told him to conserve his energy and I assured him he'll be out of the bed when he's body is ready.  Before he was completely sedated, I asked him if he had a restful night and he just shook his head.

It's 9:25 a.m. (Sept 23rd). His nurse is suctioning out more fluids from his lungs. We are waiting for his doctor to do his rounds so we can find out if we are going to proceed with extubation.  We will let you know once we find out and we'll ask for your prayers.
