Still in Step Down

Jaime's not coming home today, not tomorrow either...not sure when at this point.
Today, Jaime had 5 bottles and has managed to throw up 4 of them so far. He doesn't have a tummy ache, it's from his coughing. He's coughing and gagging so bad today. He lost weight and the drs. said they were going to put in an NG. Then, they decided they wanted a swallow eval, but the SP said she can't do it when he's throwing up like this. The drs. don't want the NG in during the swallow eval. The eval is now set for tomorrow at 1:00 P.M. , in the meantime, Jaime isn't keeping much down. Not sure if they're going to put in an IV again or not. I do know that Jaime will be getting IV Factor tomorrow before the NG insertion. He's been having some blood tinged mucus....both from his nose and coughing it up. (I know, TMI, sorry!) So, if they have to do an IV for Factor, they may as well leave it in and potentially give him fluids if needed.
This afternoon they weaned his O2. He's fine when asleep, but has problems when awake, so back up he went!
Jaime had to have another bath...I dunked him in the basin. They don't have tubs here, it's either that or another comfort bath which is warm wet cloths in bed. Those aren't working, Jaime was stinky from his vomit. It was rather funny bathing him in the round basin, but we managed!
Tom and Jared came up with dinner from Mama Santa's in Little Italy...this time Tom had to bring Jaime clothes because he just about ran out of his. New clothes, new blankets, suctioning, a bottle = SLEEPING JAIME! :-)

Anyway, some people have asked if they can visit...Jaime IS allowed to have visitors. He's in Rainbow's 5-506, his phone number is 216-844-4134. I don't know how much longer we'll be here...honestly the drs. don't either, it's all up to Jaime. Jaime and I just hang out in the room all day...company would be great! Please don't come if you're sick, though. We don't need any cooties...we've got enough of our own! Just so you know visiting hours are from 8 to 8.

No pics today, Jaime was EXTREMELY fussy and not feeling his best!

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for Jaime so that we can get out of here on Wednesday...you know we have our big Cincinnati trip coming up on Thursday! Not to mention the awesome benefit on Sunday. :-)
