Monday morning

Good morning to all.  Robert had a relatively quiet night.  He did require a small increase in his oxygen settings for a brief period this morning, which may have been due to him being moved around a bit for a bath, sheet change and suctioning.  He is now back to where he was yesterday on his ventilator settings and his blood gases have remained stable. He is very, very comfortable (so much so that we are going to reduce his sedative medications a little today).  Yesterday he started receiving some food (formula) through a feeding tube to give him some nutrition and he is tolerating that well. 

For those of you in the area, please feel free to stop by today if you would like.  If it gets to be too much, I will post a sign on his door.
