He was put back on the vent about 10:30 and moved to a chair to sit up for a couple hours. His heart rate was a little high so they have him some anti anxiety and pain meds, moved him back to the bed and he has been out like a light ever since! Since this stuff takes so long to get out of his system this will be how he is most of the night. Tomorrow they will try to wean him off the vent again but he is still not cleared by neuro to come off since he is not alert enough. Chances are pretty good he will be getting a trachea tube tomorrow or Tuesday but they are trying and hoping to avoid it if they can. I will update after rounds tomorrow at 9am.
