Doctor's Report for Lee
The heart doctor came by. Lee's heart rate has averaged in the mid 40's all night. They are trying to wean him off some of the sedative because it is keeping his heart rate low. The doctor again stated he could put in a Pace Maker but he really did not think it was necessary.
We met with the lung doctor and many of the ICU staff and expressed our concern that we could not keep an eye on Lee for 4 hours out of the 24 hour day. Their only reply was that it was policy.
They did move Lee this morning from bed #7 to #9 where the nurses have a better view of him.
They are going to try to take Lee off the ventilator in the next 24 to 48 hours. That will really help us a lot.
