Breakthrough???

This is Brian.

Just a quick update to let you know we may have had a breakthrough late tonight. What started bad may have ended well. Once we finally got his Cortisol into him, he really came alive. As a matter of fact, he was so alive that he somehow fought out of his restraints, ripped out his new IV and then ripped off his oxygen mask; all in about 5 seconds. While the nurses tried to figure out if they could start a new IV, he continued to fight the oxygen mask so I told him if he could breathe without it, I would leave it off. I never thought he would actually do it, but we have had it off and he has been breathing at almost 100% for over an hour!

At this moment he has no IV, no mask, and is sleeping well! We are going to keep the mask off as long as his levels are fine. We are not inserting a new IV unless we have to and will not do that till tomorrow if we do. He got in plenty of fluids and other meds before ripping out the IV so we are in good shape for now and hopefully will have a good and restful night.

Hopefully we have turned the corner. Keep us in your prayers.
