Luke has had a restless night good and bad. His ICP stayed down even with moving. He moved his left arm tonight. May end up in mittens by morning.They started him on bunch of anitbiotic and he has a rash, so changed antibiotic again. So we will pray for the thumbs up sign, eye blinking, or the peace sign. These are what the doctors are looking for.
later...
funny story. Luke likes to chew-he is half billy goat. They have to keep a bite block in his mouth so that he does not bite tubes(3) in half. He had managed work it into his mouth. Respitory guy was trying to get it out futher. "Luke give it to me" luke would clamp down more. tried wiggling it, luke not giving up. He asked again and Luke moved his head side to side and back and then proceded to move bite stick further into his mouth like he was packing chew into check.
still later...
Weds the vent team will be coming around. all nurse and night doctor today have talked about putting a tracheotomy tube in his throat. They think they can lower sedation more if they do not have to worry about him biting tube in half. They fell with lower sedations they will get a better nero exam. They want to see how much of Luke is still in there. He has a sinus infection as well so they can not put a tube up his nose to stomach to feed him, so he will end up with a G tube as well.
