Some good news and bad news....
Good news - should I say GREAT news...
They took Gary off the ventilator for 35 mintues and he breathed on his own!
Bad news - or maybe I should say just a set back.
They were doing the 3 1/2 hour dialysis and had to stop the last 20 minutes.
He became very agitated, moving from side to side.
They gave him some medicine to calm down.
The medicine made his blood pressure drop very quickly.
He became gray again.
Finally managed to bring blood pressure up.
He has a high white blood count in his urine.
That is probably why he is running a fever.
They are giving him antibiotics and also checking his potasum level..
They said it is not uncommon for a person to get an infection when they
have a cath. for an extended period of time.
But...
With his body being weak - we hope they can get this cleared up soon.
Praying he rests well tonight.
Back to the hospital in the morning.
Hopefully will have information about the bank account and how to donate tomorrow.
Long day for all.
Especially Steph.
I love you Stephanie!
