It was a quiet evening, minus a few alarms gone wild. Owen slept in until 9:30 and we had a boring morning. Rounds were the normal chit chat of how he looks warm and well perfused doing well on Milrinone. The team will discuss Owen tomorrow morning and come up with a longer term plan. I gave my input on how I'd like to see things go and we will see what happens.
Owen and I went for a long walk around the 3rd floor but he was bored and ready to go back to his room. I forgot how long the days are in the hospital. Throw in a little roid rage from Mr Owen and I am ready to lose my sanity. We did get his PIV removed from his wrist...that was unpleasant.
The Binghams saved the afternoon by bringing pumpkins to carve! Owen wouldn't touch the guts or actually carve the pumpkin, but he did stab it with a saw a million times.
It was fun to visit and we got the chance to carve pumpkins which Owen was bummed we were going to miss out on.
I hear Stanford goes BIg for Halloween, so tomorrow should be fun. Gage has his Heartmate in a backpack keeping his heart going while he waits for his new heart...Almost a year and counting. Two tough little guys. We have another friend in the OR downstairs getting a heart right now as I type this. Organ donation is such an incredible gift!
Happy HallowEVE.
