Update- Zachary will  get a Pick line put in tomorrow at 1pm.

Happy Belated St Patrick’s Day!!

And Happy Birthday to Wade!!!

Zachary had another rough night last night; He was screaming in pain from 11pm-2:3oam and the DRS up here are worthless. At 2:30 I demanded an X-ray of his stomach and chest, Zachary has another illus and his lungs are decompressed at the bottoms which is common when you have 2 big surgery to close together and not walking around. Zachary’s Hemoglobin is now 7 and his blood pressures are back up to 132/100 on 5 blood pressure meds. The positive is that he is off Oxygen and playing his Wii today, our Neighbor Karen brought up some games for him to play.

Tomorrow is a big day for Zachary; he will be going down for some very important test to determine if his N-G tube can come out and if his stomach is working properly. He is still having some pain but it is pretty under controlled with his PCA Narcotic; p1010049which he is supposes to be in the ICU in order to be on this Medication. The reason why he was having so much pain yesterday was when he started to crash the DRS had to give him Narcan it’s a drug that wipes out all pain Meds and gets his heart beating again. Well it took all day yesterday and night to finally get caught up on his pain.

I am still waiting on a plan to get out of here; but i do know we need to get his Bowel sounds back and for some gas again!! So basically back to square one.

Thank you for all your prayers, Please keep little Lynnea in your prayers.  www.callisonchronicle.blogspot.com

I’m glad he’s playing the Wii again. That’s a good sign. I pray that he continues to improve and that you guys get to go home soon.
