Jonathan is still in the ICU. They did extubate him yesterday, but his body was still under so much sedation that they had to give him oxygen. He is completely off the blood pressure meds now. He is obviously off the ventilator. His sodium came back up again and we don’t know why, but by this morning it had started to come down again. His blood culture came back and he does have sepsis. However, since they suspected this at the beginning they are already treating him with two antibiotics that would cover pretty much any kind of bacteria. He hasn’t eaten since Friday so we are hoping that they let him try to eat today sometime. The doctor’s plan to try to wean him off the oxygen today and also take out his central line and just use his reguarl iv site for meds and fluids.
On another note, Bryan, Heather and I all came down with a stomach virus last night. Probably the same one that Jonathan had. We are all running fever, but are no longer throwing up, so for that we are grateful. My sisters are staying with Jonathan up at the hospital since I cannot be there.
Please keep us all in your prayers.
