Desats

It's 12:30 AM and I just returned from the hospital.  Two security guards walked me over.  I've always left the hospital before dark but just after writing my last post I went in to see Josiah and he had a desat shortly thereafter.  He went as low as 38 or 39 and then was in the 40s and 50s before going up to the low 60s.  Not long after, he had his next desat to the high 40s and 50s.  He was in the low 50s for over an hour.  When I left him he was in the high 50s. 

The additional problem is that his central line isn't working correctly and his peripheral line in his foot was taken out this afternoon after it stopped working.  Initially the nurse thought that both the access sites on the central line were not working but the fellow was able to push fluid into one line (but not pull any fluid out).  Thus the nurse was able to give Josiah some ativan and that helped a little.

It's time to sleep.  The nurse is going to call me if she needs to call the fellow tonight.  Thanks for your prayers. 

Blessings,
