HI everyone

So, maybe I shouldn't have said out loud, that Wyatt might have been behaving... we all know he likes to do the opposite of what anyone says, or what he is told... 
Wyatts pneumonia is worse, since yesterday, quite a bit worse actually.  They had recultured him, and it grew pretty fast.  They put him back on two different antibiotics, but are still waiting for the sensitivity test to come back, which is what will tell them what antibiotics it is responding to.. well, they should've been back today, but they aren't yet.. which probably means that they are having a hard time getting an antibiotic that is working.  In the meantime, all the hard work he had been doing on getting his ventialtor settings down, have kind of gone by the wayside... he is back up on his oxygen and peep and support....  He is getting suctioned ALOT still, and they are having blood in the secretions most times.  They aren't sure if this is due to them irritating his lungs by suctioning them so much, or if it is edema, or what it is.  He is very irritated still, and is down to 22mcg of morphine now.  they are going down on that every 48 hours now, so that will go down again tomorrow.   His food willl go iup to 8mls tonight, and he is still tolerating that ok.  He hasn't opened his eyes again like he did the other day, but is fluttering them still, and opening them a little slit for a few seconds. 
Lisa said he is extremely tired, which I am sure is a combination of things.  I know pneumonia in itself is exhausting, so I can just imagine on top of everything else, how tiring that would be.

Lisa had thought they might do a bronchoscope today, to get a better look in his lungs, and clean them out, but for whatever reason, they decided not to. 
His heart rate is still all wacky, not quite as much as it was, but definately still is.

He lost his art line today.  They tried to save it, but couldn't, so, now he just has to behave, or he will be needing to get poked again for a new one.  If he is behaving fairly well, they won't put a new one in (this is used to measure his BP very accurately) as they can jsut use the cuff, which is less accurate, but not so bad if he is generally doing alright, but if hes not, he will need a new art line, so lets hope he doesn't need it!

That is about all for tonight, I will update again soon, hopefully by tomorrow they will have figured out what anitbiotics he needs, and get him on them.   Hopefully he can have a nice restful peaceful weekend.
