Another long day

I don't even want to blog tonight. But I know all of you want to know what is happening, so here goes. Ken is still in guarded condition. They are trying, but they can't seem to get his vitals to stay level. He had a tough day. He got upset every time they moved him. A patient in sedation, needs to be moved every now and then. He got really upset about 9 this morning and they haven't been able to get his heart rate down in the 90's since then. Either his blood pressure is too low or his heart rate too high, or his breathing is to labored. His xray this morning was extremely improved over yesterday, but they took another this afternoon and it wasn't as good. They think it is because of the amount of fluid they have been giving him. So they backed off, but now tonight, he is on 85% oxygen. This noon he was on 40-50%. They are trying to find a fine balance to make him comfortable so that he can heal. Hold on Ken. Time will heal this. You have to give them time. The doc said tonight that he is still guarded, but he is better than yesterday. I just talked to the night nurses and they are calling the doc to make adjustments yet again. I wish I weren't sick. I should be there talking to him. I hate this. I know I need to stay in bed and get over this cold. But I should be there talking to him. This sucks. They haven't found any infections from the cultures they took. They are still waiting for the long term stuff. They are continuing the steroids that seem to be helping him.
So there, I blogged. Sorry there isn't more good news. I miss Ken so much tonight. I hope I feel better tomorrow so I can go spend time with him.
Love you all. Good night. Bev
