Week 17 – Day 2

Brendan’s issues are much better today, we are pretty sure that it was changes in the medications that sent him on his wild ride. The dopamine helped bring his pressure back up and he started feeling better right away.
After being awake a lot all night, this morning he would just finally start to get settled and ready to get sleep and then someone new would come in to poke, listen to his lungs and generally mess with him. They would stir him up until he was good and mad and then leave him overtired.
The nurse finally cut them off and insisted that he get a few hours rest.
Around 2pm they took him to radiology to get a new PICC line put in. That went well for him, so now they have more reliable IV access and can do the tests and give the meds they need.
He is scheduled for his cath now on Tuesday. We will see if we can make it to Tuesday without that changing again!
Poor Gramma has to go home tomorrow. She had considered delaying her return flight again, but there is just no way to be sure that they really will get to his procedure! I bet Trevor will be looking for her in the kitchen, holding the bottle of baby bath.

Brendan got a rose for Valentine’s day from a set of cute triplets.

Trevor’s spoiled!!

He still makes it well known how he feels about the end of bath time!

He forgets about being mad about the bath pretty quickly

His hair is starting to show, if you can get past looking at the cheeks!
