Aiden did pretty well overnight. He didn't get too terribly pissed off until 5:30 this morning when respirtory came in to suction. He tried to extubate himself with his feet, so he is now strapped down to the bed.
Dr. Pediatric Cardiologist and Dr. SHS came in just a few minutes ago. They ran a test on the pacemaker. It is kicking in when it needs to. Dr. Cardiologist wants it set to kick in when his heart rate goes below 100 to avoid putting Aiden back on the Sotalol. Plans are right now for Aiden to go home on Lasix and Enalapril, with possibility of Digoxin.
The vent settings have been lowered from 14 to 12. At 10am, the settings will be lowered to 10 and gas will be given. If Aiden is good for 2 hours, then he will be extubated at noon.
Started the Lasix back this morning to help dry up some of the fluid on his lungs. Hopefully that helps.
If Aiden hears my voice, he gets upset. He wants to be held and reaches out to be held.
