I tried to get back into the PCICU after shift and was DENIED access. Caden’s nurse sent a messenger out to tell me that they were removing lines. I am assuming that means both the arterial and central lines mentioned yesterday. This will give Caden great joy. He has been asking to be held since yesterday and they won’t allow that until the arterial line is out. This is also a natural progression towards moving out of the ICU, hopefully later today.
Sherry is home sleeping. She sent me home last night to get some sleep and she stayed until I got back at 5am this morning. Sherry said that Caden did not get much rest through the night due to the comings and goings of the ICU staff last night.
I will try to update as soon as we get moved out of the ICU so folks know where to find us.
