Thursday 8/4

*12:45 pm
Dad's bp dropped. They have started him on a iv drip and they are monitoring. They were checking blood gasses as I was leaving from seeing him. The nurse said he responded to her a little as she was changing his trach out. He is so weak. Caroline will be here any minute and Mom is coming in from Heber shortly.


Dad has been moved to ICU and they are putting him on the ventilator. He has had some respiratory issues throughout the night. His pulse ox dropped and they tried aggressively to treat him, but were unsuccessful, so the decision was made to move him to critical care. He smiled when I spoke to him this morning, but never opened his eyes and wouldn't follow any of my commands. I am waiting for the nurse to call me back to see him. I will keep everyone posted.
