So while Hinton had a good night on Monday and technically passed the trial run for vent removal the decision was made to hold off on extubation. After a few hours in the practice setting, his numbers had declined and his morning chest x-ray was cloudy again. Our nurse did a good job explaining it. ...

The plan for Sunday was to slowly wean Hinton down from the conventional vent. The doctors are really pleased with how he is doing since the change and at times today his stats were better than they were with the oscillator.

It has been an extremely difficult 24 hours for Hinton. After the placement of the vent he had a rocky spell of not being able to maintain his body temp and struggling with a fluctuating heart rate. Adjustments were made and he soon was resting comfortably. Around 10:00 he started to stir. The nurse ...

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the prayers regarding Hinton’s energy level. We noticed a drastic improvement in his alertness and energy over the last week. We’ve still had some days where he is more sleepy than normal and we are still experiencing days where he is napping, but there has been i ...

So for the new year I am focusing on a better more positive attitude. I have made it my goal to make this year more productive and not let the little things get to me as much. Many people have said that the more positive you are the more positive things that will happen to you. Well I am going to te ...
