Well..not good. I almost lost Mike this morning. It seems the lungs/passages are not filled with fluid..they are swollen nearly shut and have mucus plugging them,,Mike wouldn't keep the mask on they allowed him to remove it, by morning his heart rate was up to 200..not good. That was due to Atrial fibrillation . They intubated him and he freaked..told you so. Then they seadted him. I pictched a major hissy fit until they explained he would have died without the breathing tube. I can understand that. I just didn't want them doing INSTEAD of the c-pap.
I was so upset that I had to leave..I couldn't see Mike anyway, if he had seen me it would have been bad, he would have gotten upset with me for allowing the tube..actually it was him who gave permission. That was another thing..how can they accept permission from someone who is out of thier mind? The lung Dr. only came out to speak to me because I was making a scene about the tube and why no one let me know I needed to get to the hospital. The Dr. is still a jerk..much like Sheldon from big bang theory.
I went to see him again this after noon and he was sleeping, but breathing much better. His heart rate is at 130. They said they may remove the tube tomorrow...good luck!
I am headed back up after shift change tonight.
