"Critical but stable"
"For how sick he is, he really is sailing through it"
This is what we have been hearing today. Kinda contradicting right? Oh
well, "critical" is much better when it is paired with stable. We did
witness just how much they are on top of Evan's status though. He
dropped his heart rate and before I even knew what was going on they
were drawing up meds and a resident followed by an attending appeared
right away as well. They say this is still him getting more sick
before he gets better, but i am not sure how much more "sick" I can
handle. They also drew lab cultures at each site of entry (picc line,
central line, cath) for a new fever he spiked but they are thinking
now that it may have been a reaction to a change in his bed heater.
So, we had about an hour of excitement and he seems to have settled
back down now. Ben is going to be staying the night tonight so we
should all expect a thorough post tomorrow morning after rounds,
right? :)
