Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 h graduated to a regular room!!!!!!! It's nice to be out of the CCU and have a few less *policies* to contend with. We're now in room 8421 and the direct line in is (615)936-4206. h's doing well clearing her lungs - they sound much better. She did scare us last night when she started vomiting. I could just see us right back downstairs because of aspiration! Thank GOD it doesn't seem to have affected her lungs. We gave her some zofran and her stomach is fine now. Her sats are still dipping at night so we're going to see about the switch to a volume cycle vent. Our new cough assist should be here in less than an hour. The issues that we currently have are less lung and more heartrate/BP. We've noticed that in the past days h's heartrate is pretty erratic. We have times when her heartrate is at 120 (12pm today) and other times that it's down in the low 50's (2am today). I finally decided last night that since nobody else is doing it that I will document all of these fluctuations. Right now it's on scrap paper (since that's all I have *LOL*) but once someone is here to sit with h I'll run downstairs and get a notebook. I'm also insisting that the nurses come and look when it's either high or low so that they can document it and I don't seem like a paranoid attention seeker. Her BP is also still dipping to numbers that seem too low to me. at 10:15 this morning we got 91/78. Her HR was 66 at the time. I'm going to run and do a bit more research. I'm trying to find something....... ANYTHING to explain these numbers. Love and Hugs Jeni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Hi Jeni, I just wanted you to know that I am thinking about you guys and really glad to hear that h is out of the CCU. My heart rate goes up and down a lot too...but I¹ve never thought too much about it. Please keep keeping us posted...
