PICU update

I was able to get a good nights sleep last night, yeah! No phone calls in the middle of the night! When I got there he was a little agitated. I held him in the rocker, and I noticed that his color wasn't beautiful, and his sats were in the 80's on 75% oxygen. So I mentioned it to the nurse and she had respiratory come up and bag and suction him, and called the resident. The bag and suction brought his sats up a touch, but not a lot. The chief resident also came up. Both said he needed PICU. The PICU team said they weren't going to come up and look at him, just to bring him down. They put him on the ventilator, and he immediately began to breath easier. They've stopped feeds and started fluids, which worries me a little because when he's on fluids he always retains it in his lungs, so it may not help the breathing much. I left soon after he was settled because we had motorcross tickets and I wasn't going to make the other boys suffer. When I got back she told me he had an episode where he dropped his sats into the 40's and she had to bag him for 4 to 5 minutes to get him back up. And he was really agitated so now he's sedated. Hopefully he can stay where he is. If he starts needing other lines and things then it may get nasty!

Oh and some people wanted my email, its laceyrugg@hotmail.com

Oh, oh, also a couple of people asked about going in a firetruck instead of an ambulance. Our fire department close to us has a transport firetruck. Its longer and has a bed in it. Jax has been in it a couple of times!
