Ryan is coming home! I got a text from Chuck around noon - telling me they wanted to send him home. Ummm - I had just got off the phone with the hospital - they were hoping to keep in in ICU another day or 2 then to the ward till he was ready. So I called again. Seems the drs thought he would be better coming home because of all the viruses going around on the ward. Whoa - no services in place. The ICU staff did not feel he was ready. Neither did I. So I talked to the dr and he gave me till noon tommorrow. So - a bit shocking but ok. I guess this is ok. It will be scary for me - that's for sure.
So he is off all oxygen and breathing fine. No seizures. No vomitting. Colour good. pulse good. Still very sleepy and weak.
No idea why this all happened. One theory I have is that the pharmacy ran out of his pills and substituted a generic brand - that is a fact. The other is - flu shot. He had just had his flu shot when the seizures started up again.
But no one knows. i want to talk to the neurologist about this. But no drs are saying much. Figures. Dump it all on me.
The nursing agency is scrambling to get help back in place and we made need some extra support. Or else I'll be sleeping in his room with one eye open all night.
