Wow did Todd go back down hill after this morning. And we were soo excited about the improvements. We were not able to bring Brooklynn up to see him - I don't want her to see him so sick, weak and not himself.
His neurosurgeon came in and increased his medications (something I had been fighting the hospital internist to do) and gave him some extra boosts of the meds to hopefully get him feeling better fast. I was glad they were changed (and to be totally honest too - that I was right on what needed to be done). The neurosurgeon told me to page him day or night if I need ANYTHING. I was already going to but he told me to call Todd's other specialist first thing Monday morning. The neurosurgeon was floored about the issues we have been having and is making sure the issues are address with the people who caused them. His neurosurgeon said that he will probably give a teaching seminar to the post surgical RN's on how to care for patients in Todd's situation too.
Anyway I'm praying his other specialist will make our lives sooo much better tomorrow. I'm just ready for Todd to be feeling better... even just a little would be great at this point.
Sounds like things will start to look up when the right side knows what the left side is doing!
