They did an x-ray today and noticed some alveolar collapse, so they increased some of his vent settings so that they expand them more and keep them open.
They also gave him some Adderall today, as they thought that his anxiety was causing some of his desats. This made him very jittery (Gee... stimulants usually have that side effect) so they won't give it to him again. Thank goodness because I am no doctor, but giving a stimulant for anxiety doesn't make any sense to me. They did however give him a very small dose of morphine to relieve his anxiety.
He seemed to be doing pretty well today. Sats and desats as usual but that has become the norm. He was getting his eyes examined tonight, so hopefully we will get the results of that soon. Other than that, he is holding as steady as he can.
I leave you all with another picture. He had his little hand on his chin like the thinking man, and we just had to get a picture. The lighting is a little bright, but here you go!
