Jack was a little less resistant to keeping the oxygen on but we still had a few discussions around it. Nurse Leeann explained to him that if he did not keep it on he would have to go back to ICU or be restained. She loves Jack (they bonded last year when he was a lot more personable than he is now!) and she was concerned and explained to him that without the help his O2 is at an unsafe level and that she was worried about him.
Dr Berk came in for a consult and believes at this point it is a combination of Jack being a shallow breather to begin with and then he came here and they made him sick, gave him lots of fluids and he has been bedridden for a week. They did a cat scan but he said that even though it was a little blurry ( Jack must have moved) that he did not see anything there that really concerned him.
They are still giving him antibiotics in case it is a bacteria that has not shown up yet. I would feel a whole lot better if there was more improvement or if we at least knew more about why his O2 level is sooo low.
As for me - I am exhausted and more than a little frustrated but will keep on keeping on!! Time for dinner and bed!!
