Evan is stabilizing. His vent settings are not high like they were yesterday. His O2 is set around 30% (room air is 21%). Last night it was around 90%!
Evan was started on a continuous sedation drip. He likes to become active as soon as his dose wears off. This will help him let the vent do all the work.
The doctors have started him on antibiotics as they await the culture results to see if he has an infection. It's better to start antibiotics as a precaution.
In exciting news, Evan is no longer the smallest kid in the room! As his nurse said "he's got seniority now!"
