Things are a little better in the PICU today, I'm happy, happy, happy to report. ENT came in this morning, took the latest packing out of Colby's mouth. NO active, red blood, just old, nasty brown blood. Good sign. So they've left him unpacked. We're going to start his cough treatments, but are starting at a snail's pace. Not doing IPV at all, too much shaking/jarring. Doing CoughAssist only. Lower pressures than home, fewer sets. You gotta start somewhere. Keep your fingers crossed, throw out a prayer or two that we see no bright red blood.
I don't how it happens, but somehow Colby's feeding recipe and schedule get fucked up every time we're here. EVERY time. Drives me bonkers. I write it down. I tell the nurses. It still is a giant cloud of duh and misunderstanding and are you kidding me. So my best guess Colby is getting some form of food and hopefully his free water today. How hard can it be?!
I'll keep everyone posted on the success/failure of the cof tmts. And the success/failure of Colby's feelings.
