Andrew is still on the CPAP, and though he was quite unhappy earlier this morning, his last gas came back within parameters. His CO2 was reading at 120 on the monitor, which made them worry a bit...then the blood test showed a value of 69. Even before extubation, 50-70 was what they were expecting, and they'll likely be even more lenient now that he's off the ventilator.
The trick seems to be keeping him calm, so D just headed down to see if she can help. I have some work to do, and then I'll join her.
