Mav had his foley catheter taken out today - I'm sure that's more comfortable for him. He's still on his epi and nor-epi - they haven't weaned them any further. They added milrinone today for his peripheral perfusion. They turned his ventilator rate down a little. He's off the diuretic coctail and remains on a lasix drip. He's looking more edematous, but they don't want to diurese (get the fluid off) him too quickly. The good news is he's had no output from his chest tube in the last 24 hours! Happy Dance! His left post-tibial art line stopped working today and they took it out. They're planning on leaving it out unless he starts misbehaving since they've used all his distal extremity sites.
I've decided while I'm home next week I'm going to try to make a positioner for Mav. He somehow seems to slide back on his back when he's positioned on his side - sneaky little guy. Who knows - maybe this will be my one good idea. More tomorrow - jc
