YEAH!!! Carson got to wean today!!! They went down to 15 on his PEEP Plus settings on the inspiratory pressure. That is the setting that he gets when he breaths.
Poor little guy is having all sorts of fits with his G-tube. After it overflowed yesterday, they just put him back to the G-tube and took away the button because it was leaking. Today, it was still leaking, so they had to put a stick in next to it to keep it from leaking.
They plan to take out his Broviac tomorrow which is another IV into his artery. His liver enzymes are almost back to normal which is an excellent sign. His AFP (one of the tumor markers) is also continuing to drop.
All in all a good day!! Hopefully, the blood gases will continue to be good.
