For a couple of days Pete has been incredibly sleepy. He'd have had a decent sleep and come morning he just couldn't stay awake and would just drift in and out all day and then by evening he'd be with it for a couple of hours. You might think that he's making up for lost time, but that's not the case.
So Monday was interesting in the gym. They thought Pete might stay awake if they tried some exercises, but he just kept drifting away. So physio is on hold once again.
The doctor's not sure why this is happening, so just to be on the safe side, he decides to send Pete back to the ICU for a more intensive assessment. His carbon dioxide count is to high, but overall they are not too concerned with the CO2 level itself, but more about what's causing it. Then this morning they decide to make sure and do a CT scan of the head. That turns out fine :)
It's likely got to do with the medications, so changes are made and today things were much better. It's not busy in ICU right now so Pete's simply waiting there for some more tests to be done tomorrow. Not a bad place to be, you get good one on one care!
Hopefully he can head back to the ward and begin physio.
You are both in our constant thoughts and prayers. Hopefully they can figure the medication thing out and Pete can continue on the road to recovery. Lots of love from Dick and Alida
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like Pete is getting his sleep one way or another. We hope this works itself out and he gets back to physio. Love to you all.
ReplyDeleteI think that you knew that life with Pete would never be dull (joking, haha......) but this is diversified enough. Keep it up you both! Groeten, Tallien

You are in the best place, to figure all of this out. Sounds like narcolepsy. I probably spelled it wrong. But I have heard that meds can cause those symptoms. Hang in there both of you and we havn't forgotten you. Praying daily. Kathleen
