Day 33


Parker had an off day today. Blood gases were crappy in the afternoon so they went up on the vent settings. Then he was really unsettled in the late afternoon. Needed Ativan twice and still wouldn't chill out. He practically pulled his breathing tube out too. So frustrating! We tried everything to settle him. Then he finally relaxed before we left tonight and is resting well. It breaks my heart to see him upset. Hopefully he will rest well through the night. On the bright side his head ultrasound looked good. The bleed on the right is looking better and the ventricles are stable. They will continue to do weekly ultrasounds to follow up on the ventricles and monitor for any additional fluid build up. But so far we are looking stable.
