Melinda continues to have elevated blood pressure and is breathing hard. Melinda continues to receive her blood pressure and pain medicine to keep her stable. Melinda still wears mittens on her hands and this has kept her from grabbing the vent hoses. Melinda the houdini managed to get a hold of the vent hoses and now her arms are in restraints and she really hates it.
Respiratory therapist changed the ventilator to pressure support to see if Melinda could handle breathing on her own. Melinda handled breathing on her own for about 3 hours. Respiratory said Melinda is hyper-ventilating and she is breathing too fast and her blood pressure is too low . Melinda was given pain medicine and was put back on the ventilator to help her breath. The medicine took 30 minutes to get her calmed down and vitals stable.
The nurse turned off the lights and closed the blinds so Melinda could rest all day. Melinda is not handling any kind of stimulation right now and she needs to rest. **Keep praying for Melinda.**
