MONDAY
Yesterday we started early with the traumatic experiences for the day.
6:00 AM Ayden had all his chest tubes out and we also got the Central line out as well. Ayden was even unhooked from the pace maker but just not the wires to it. He still has those in his chest. For all this he had to be drugged heavily.
Also on that day we had to have a Wound Care Specialist come and see us. Ayden's skin has decided to become allergic to the tape that they use for surgery and afterwards and he has broken out. He also has a huge sore where the pace maker box was taped down. So we had to take all the tape off and redress everything and get on some steroids.
TUESDAY
Tuesday morning Ayden's gas came back lower then they expected from his blood work taken earlier. Usually to get blood from Ayden they would just get it from his central line so he doesn’t have to get stuck. Well since he got his central lines out this means he had to get stuck. Not once but twice because his blood was clotting. UGG!!!!
But to reward him we took a trip off the Cardio Unit in a wagon. First stop was outside, maybe hoping he could escape. Then on to the caterpillar; next stop - of course - the cafeteria. He wanted to see all the food. Fun stuff! Then he went to the playroom and found the trains, tools (where’s the hard hat?) trucks and even bowled!
By the time we go back to our room they wanted us to pack up and move out of Cardio and up to recovery - so excited! This is a BIG step closer to leaving here.
All packed up and ready to go to recovery
To recovery floor we go. Our new room is 617D!!!
WEDNESDAY
This morning I have already talked to the nurse and she was going to be talking to Dr. M about getting these pacers out ASAP. If we get those out there is a good chance we could leave here TODAY.
I can’t believe it.
