Up and Down Day

It has been a usual up and down day. Most of the blood tests are coming back better. One of the doctors has said that the chest x-ray looks "much better" and another says he sees a "tiny improvement". This morning one doctor said that it could be weeks before they even try to wean him and then 20 minutes later they were reducing his sedation and doing a test run on weaning. Tracy did attempt to breathe on his own which was good but was also quite distressed which caused him to breath too fast and too hard, so they stopped and have now heavily sedated him again. I was happy that they tried and very happy that Tracy tried, but it was also incredibly stressful. I do wish that it appeared that we had one doctor who was kind of coordinating things instead of many doctors seemingly doing their own thing without talking to anyone else. It is also stressful when the nurses change and you have to get used to a new personality again. We will be here for awhile.
