Updates on Lee - Monday, April 25 - 2000

0829 – Ahmed orders a med to minimize and control afib.

0930 – Kaiser Social Worker stopped by to talk about Medical Rehab (this is a very good sign!)

1030 – Now receiving regular applications of coconut oil on lips and legs.

1130 – Pretty Doc comes in to change out trach. This doc swaps out on day three to be sure all looks good (she noticed Lee’s now supple lips).

1230 – Heparin drip and BP med now flowing.

1330 – Calderon (kidney doc) visits. X-rays look fine. Dialysis tomorrow (back to every other day).

1420 – Nanette laments for not knowing how to knit. Says she could have knitted Lee a very nice reed holder (well, she did say blanket).

1530 – Took Lee for a CT brain scan. They are verifying that there is something still between his ears.

1648 – Nothing remarkable in CT scan (this goes without saying). Radiologist said it was distracting to find Scully and Mulder trying to avoid having their pictures taken during the procedure. They were told the “truth” could be hidden there, as no one was ever able to get inside Lee’s head. Bottom line = No Dain Bramage.

1910 – Heart rate doing much better:

BP = 146/47 MAP 73
Ventilator Support = O2 40%, Peeps 5%
SpO2 = 98%

Still a bit groggy, with eyes and mouth slightly open (you can see Scully and Moulder peeking out.

1924 – One of the nurses mentioned that the meds Lee has in his system will take time to process, as some of it builds up in the fat cells……crickets…

Comment made on how good Lee's lips look......(trying to make Gregg jealous again..)

We just realized that the OT/PT folks did not show today. Will investigate.
