It would seem that since Dan’s illness last week things are going from strength to strength. Today he was out on his playmat as usual and for it he was put on his dry circuit, this is the tubing from his ventilator which on the dry circuit does not have a humidifer, and Julie could not see where the oxygen pipe was attached. So she asked one of the nurses where it was as it must have been connected as Danny was saturating at 100%, so she looked and showed her where it was connected. However, that was not it as it was connected to the wet circuit, which has the humidifier attached, after looking again they found that it was not attached which mean Dan was in “air” again which he’s not been in for about a month now. He’s now been in air for the entire day and also now that he’s asleep which is amazing as this is such a major milestone for Danny, if he maintains this then that would be awesome but best to try not to get too carried away just yet. The unit is once again very busy which tends to mean that little Dan gets overlooked, as a result we both have concerns over what impact this new influx of patients will have on our son’s overall care. This is something that we have spoken to the staff about previously so the hope is that it won’t happen but we’ll see.
