Well such rough days I have been having ! My pain , but thats just what it is.. My husbands illness, Hes really been struggling, this finally started breaking up in the last few days which is great but over night as he sleeps , every thing just really clogged up in his lungs, I checked his oxygen level while he was sleeping about 5am, his color was off and he was at 86
with oxygen on, so ABG level was probably 83 at most
So I quickly brought him his nebulizer and made him do a treatment. it brought him up to 92 ...
I have been mentally pacing back and forth today if he should get a chest xray today.. When we talked to the Doctor on Thursday I asked them to send an order to the hospital for a chest xray in case I think he needs one over the weekend, this way we would avoid the ER altogether.. Drive to Hospital just walk in, go to xray dept and walk right back out... This is a perk of small town Doctors and Hospitals..
I think I am just going to have to check him every few hours when he is sleeping and wake him to do a treatment if his numbers are too low.. But I have to be watchful as the nebulizer meds can spike his blood pressure.. Its like walking on a tightrope juggling knives lately
Hope everyone is enjoying there day
