Second Thursday

Seven's six hour sprint went flawlessly in the night. Apparently he had a room clearing diaper that caused one nurse to exclaim to the other, "I am never helping you again!" She said the horrid smell was wafting out of the room and into the hall.

Seven spent the day doing a 12 hour sprint. He did remarkably well. He slept through a lot of it, which is a great sign that he wasn't working super hard. We had the endocrinology team come by to investigate the low calcium, magnesium, Vitamin D and phosphorus. They ordered x-rays of his wrists and hands to be performed tomorrow morning. That area of the body holds evidence of bone issues. We'll see tomorrow how that plays out.

Tomorrow will be a more news worthy day. The plan is to rest him tonight and extubate tomorrow morning. We will closely monitor his reaction and hopefully will NOT have to reintubate. But you never know.
