Tomorrow I'll be meeting with the new medical team.
The residents and attending are rotating, so I'll have another session of getting acquainted with another set of personality types.
I have heard that the attending starting tomorrow is very 'aggressive' and cavalier.
I am hoping this proves beneficial for Torrey, as we'll have some tough decisions to make in the next few days.
Torrey was very sleepy for most of today. They increased his pain medication again, but his blood pressure seemed to cope ok. They had to increase his BP meds again, but only after they had been able to wean him a bit. He was pretty weak, but responsive when he was awake.
He apparently had a good night last night. He is bleeding a bit in his GI tract so they took him off feedings this morning. He didn't seem to mind.
As of this evening, he had been awake for a while and not in any pain. We like his night nurse, and feel confident he'll have a good night.
Cherrie - thank you for the information you provided. I will discuss this with the docs first thing. I believe in the beginning they did consider a CAPD, but I don't recall why they didn't move ahead with it. I'll try and get an explanation. I didn't realize it was easier on the BP.
Regards,
Monica

i have this hanging in my hallway and it helps me a lot sometimes when i don't have the answers i want. but i thought of you today when i walked past it and i want to share.
faith is...
faith is risking waht is for waht is yet to be. it is taking small steps, knowing they lead to bigger ones. faith is holding on when you want to let go. it is letting go when you want to hold on. faith is saying yes when everything else says no. it is believing all things are possible in the midst of impossibilities. faith is looking beyond what is and trusting for what will be. it is the presense of light in darkness, the presense of God in all. -ellen m, cuomo
