Sleepless Night 6/12/11 9:31 PM
Ron slept almost the entire time I was there today. Apparently he didn't sleep at all last night due to anxiety. They gave him anti-anxiety meds today and he slept. The o2 was turned off on ventilator today from 9:00 am to apx 3:00 pm. He did great, but because he was sleeping so soundly his breathing was shallow. So the ventilator had to help push his breaths through but his own oxygen was sufficient for 6 hours. This is wonderful!! He is getting very close to being taken off the ventilator completely. I bought a dry erase board on my way home today so hopefully communication will be a little better. Last time we tried to have him write something he was too weak to even hold the pen or lift his arm. But I think he is strong enough now and that will eliminate a huge frustration on both our parts. Wednesdays surgery will be at his bedside. I am very happy about that. They are going to cut away the biggest part of the ulcer to see how deep it actually goes. I am praying that it is superficial but from the looks of it, its pretty deep.Once they cut away all the dead skin and debride it, he will have a wound vac to continously suck out all the infection. He used one of these on his last leg amputation so this will not be new to him. Please everyone,, pray that his ulcer can be fixed in one surgery and that it is not a stage 4 or 5. That would be another major problem for him to overcome.
