Called Kathy’s night nurse this morning and she reported everything went well over the evening. She slept all night except the occasional checks by the nurse. The good news is the nurse checks showed Kathy’s right side was improving! She is off to get a CT scan today and her ulcer checked.
Visited with Kathy around noon today and she was very tired from her CT scan this morning. We are looking forward to Dr. Kureshi’s comments. They are attempting to take Kathy off her ventilator (maybe Kathy can talk afterwards) today but she is having problems remembering to breathe when she dozes off. The nurses assure me this is normal and when she clears up from the medicines she will start breathing on her own.
This afternoon the staff raised the collection container higher than Kathy’s head to slow down the flow from her brain in anticipation of orders to remove the drainage line from her head. This was good news even with increased brain pressure. The fluid is clear now and I think they are slowly removing systems from Kathy so she can moved out of ICU.
