Sunday afternoon

It's Sunday and the day is moving along slowly. Not much happens here on the weekend so it is just a fairly peaceful day. Tim was slow to get up - but on the other hand there is no reason to rush! He's eaten a pretty good breakfast and lunch - and now watching the Purdue/Ohio State Game. Once it's over, I imagine it will be dinner time.
They have slowly removed all his hook ups. He is off oxygen. I had him take a walk down the hall and the nurse came in to check him when we got back. His oxygen level was 80! That's much too low! While she was in a panic and getting out his oxygen hook-up - you could hear Tim inhale - and his level immediately went to 99. We all started laughing - not sure if he was holding his breath on purpose or what. Once he started breathing - he was fine! Gotta always remind these baritones to do something. We told Tim he has to remember to breathe!!
The only wires Tim has left are the pacer wires. He's still pacing to his own beat......and not needing any prodding.....so while I kind of hope they don't do a pacemaker - I think it is still on the list. The pace maker is always a good back up incase it's needed - but on the other hand, he doesn't need any more foreign things in his body to attract infection.
The infectious disease doctor is still stumped what caused this whole mess. Tim does not have any infection in his body - nor could they find anything positive when we got here a week ago. They can not simulate anything in the lab - so all is much a mystery. Could be an episode for "House". I have some ideas and will ask ID. I wonder if this "cavity" they found for infection is from the last time and all the antibiotics - and whatever invaded this time was just some kind of flu/fluke. I suppose my idea is as good as anything they can come up with.
They cannot find any places left for an IV - and will send him for a PIC line tomorrow. They should have done that a few days ago. I asked when we came in and the answer was no....don't think they could have it before surgery...... at least if they put in the pic they don't have to come put in an IV every few days - and can quit poking for blood. His arms are swollen and pretty much black and blue from brusing. Each IV poke is taking about 3 times to find a spot. OUCH!!
I have nothing more for today! Our get well wishes go out to Bob. Get well, stay well and no more strokes!!!
