CT scan of the brain showed no acute changes, chest xray slightly better, did a lumbar puncture today since she still has a fever. She breathed on her own for about 2 hours today with 50% oxygen but her BP, heart rate and respiration steadily increased during that time, so she is back on the ventilator at 50% overnight. She definitely is responsive to noise and activity, as she becomes agitated when the ICU is busy although she does have a private room (all the rooms in the ICU are private). Tonight they shut the doors, darkened the room and eliminated any auditory stimuli and she immediately settled into a more restful sleep.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Today I spent most of the day at Vacation Bible School teaching the science portion of God’s Miracles through Color … rainbows, plants and animals. Hard work, but fun and a good diversion. Got home a little after 5 PM to discover that Opie was not feeling well … in fact, yelping in pain. Took him in to the vet … ultrasound showed nothing, suspect he “tweaked” his neck/back while playing. No neurological symptoms, so we are doing tramadol, crate rest and observation at home. If you can sling a tiny bit of drool to Opie, I would appreciate it. I certainly have enough drama in my life without a sick doggie.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Sandi<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
