Happy Easter family and friends! Much better news this morning on a respiratory standpoint. Seth’s tidal volume (the amount of air moved into or out of the lungs in one breath) is much higher. Yesterday it was in the 40’s-50’s, this morning around 5am it was hovering around 100, and at 7:45am it is around 120! Interesting fact: A healthy adult male’s normal rate is about 500ml of air per breath, and if you breathed in and filled your lungs it would be about 1000 ml. So everyone take a deep breath with me! Today is the last day on antibiotics. His white blood cells are still high but they aren’t too concerned about it right now.Yesterday they started tapering off and is now off the Dilated IV but giving Oxycodone 10 mg x 4 hrs. His blood pressure was elevated early this morning so they did give him a bolus of Dilated and a blood pressure medicine.They wanted to wean him off the strong Dilated IV to get a better picture of how he is doing neurologically.
In the weeks before the accident, we were watching Sight & Sound’s state-of-the-art theatrical productions of the Bible. I was even talking about taking a trip to Branson to see a show. Today and tomorrow (through 4/21), Sight-sound.tv is offering a free streaming of JESUS. Filmed in front of a live audience, you are invited to gather with the ones you love to witness some of the most awe-inspiring, miraculous events in the gospels as the story of Jesus’ life unfolds on your screen.
