Day 2 A.S. – 6:30 am
Lights in the room won’t go off completely due to some issues with the switch. So, we have been “sleeping” like the sun was on. So last night we got them down to just the over the bed indirect ones. I had a bright idea and tossed towels over them. I didn’t burn the hospital down by doing it, so it was a win win for everyone here I’d say.And oh yeah, David is doing well. Ran a fever this morning and got meds for that. Just got all IVs out and pain pump has been disconnected. Transitioning to oral pain management. We walked the halls for about 20 minutes at 5 this morning and now he is sitting in a chair. O2 has been a little low off and on so he still has the monitor. Dr. McSubstitue was in at 5:45 am and said he looked great. The pain syringe has to be disconnected with a key and the key was connected to something large so someone doesn’t just put it in their pocket and forget (like the old gas station restroom keys attached to a hubcap. I really need one of these as a souvenir.
