Caden is stable. He is still on the ventilator and will probably remain on it until tomorrow morning. He is coming off of the anesthesia medications VERY slowly but smoothly. We were told that Caden took an impressive amount of anesthesia medication during the surgeries. They said that he kept “eating medication” while under anesthesia . Caden’s nurse said to expect him to transition out of the ICU pretty quickly once he gets out of la-la land and is extubated (taken off the ventilator). We expect and pray that he will in his own room by tomorrow evening.
Caden has woke up a few times, but he has gone right back to sleep. He still has two IV lines, a central line, and one chest drain tube in addition to the ventilator and the normal ICU telemetry. I will keep you posted as things progress. Thank you for your prayers.
