Post-op Day

Evan was extubated at 6:30 last night - about 2 hrs past when he wanted to be. Last night was okay. Evan was very thirsty & not allowed to have anything until early this morning bc his bp was up, blood work a little high, oxygen a little low & having a couple p wave rhythm episodes. All of these resolved once pain was better controlled. Drs were all happy this morning at rounds & told Evan he was on his path to go home Friday. He thanked them for fixing his heart - how sweet is that? After that the morning got rough and Evan was anxious and in pain from all the commotion of losing his arterial & central lines. He also got rid of his pacer wires & foley cath. Guess what - he is peeing like a champ! Once we were moved to a room Evan has been resting much better. Here is to rest on 4 west!
