- one of the drip sedation meds was turned off
- the other sedation med was cut back and should be gone by tomorrow
- we had our initial therapy session with OT and PT
- his oxycodone dose was cut to 25% of the dose he had yesterday
- the oxygen tube was taken off his nose
- one of the IV's that was monitoring blood pressure was taken out
- all remaining IV fluids are now going through the PIC line in his left arm
- some of his meds that have been on drip were moved to oral (via IV for now)
- Jake was more awake and alert the majority of the day
- his food intake via the feeding tube was increased
I also wanted to let you know that at the suggestion of a friend, I added a facebook page to make it easier for people to know when we post an update to the blog. If you want to "like" the page, it's www.facebook.com/UpdatesOnJake
