Adela seems to be resting now…she drifted off to the sounds of the seashore from the white noise machine here in our room.\u00a0 The nurse just came in to give her a dose of Ativan (which relaxes her), Lasix (the diuretic), and a few antibiotics in addition to a diaper change.<\/p>\n
When the nurses took Adela down the hall for her fluoroscopy, they switched her from the high-flow nasal cannula (the plastic tube with the two prongs that fit in her nostrils) to the regular nasal cannula (which we have started calling a nasal cannoli).\u00a0 She did so well with the change during the test that they decided to leave her on it.\u00a0 That was one of the remaining hurdles that needed to be cleared before we could leave the PICU.\u00a0 She can go “up to the floor” (to a regular hospital room) on oxygen, but just not using the high-flow device.<\/p>\n
We still don’t have any results from the fluoroscopy.\u00a0 Since the PICU doctors seemed to want the results of it right away, it will, of course, be tomorrow before the report is available.\u00a0 Go figure.\u00a0 The PICU doctors originally wanted to wait for the results of the test before restarting her continuous feed of EleCare, however I think they’re going to go ahead and restart it anyway tonight after rounds.<\/p>\n
So, I will say goodnight to everyone while I decide whether to leave the seashore turned on or switch it to one of the other sounds.\u00a0 I personally like the rainforest, however we’ve been listening to it for the past three days, so I think it’s getting a little old.\u00a0 I might try the rain sounds…it would at least match the weather outside right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
