Good news. Jason is off of his oxygen and feeding tube (again). He is back up to taking his feeds on demand again, too. Yeah. They have taken him off of all of his medications except his antibiotic for his bladder infection (gento.mycin) and his anti-seizure medication (kepp.ra). He has now gone two days without an apnea (A's) or bradycardia (B's) alarm. Double yeah.

Tomorrow is day seven of the stupid antibiotics for his bladder infection. His course of antibiotics will take from 7-14 days, with the expectation of around 10 days being enough. That puts us to Friday for the repeat urine culture.

The apnea/brady alarms will probably mean around another 5 days from today, assuming he has no other alarms. He has to be alarm free for a week. They have said that the A's and B's were directly related to the medication he had been given and wasn't something that he would do had he not had all of that. I am not sure if that makes a difference. That would mean we would have to wait until Saturday. Sigh.

At that point, they will again evaluate whether he can come home. All clear urine culture + no A's and B's may mean homecoming on Saturday/Sunday.

Keep everything crossed that this week goes by smoothly and very quickly.
