yesterday was an amazingly horrible day. Nick was to start his sitting protocol. They brought in his morning meds and he took them and ended up vomiting everything he had eaten. We were doing so well until then. They decided to take out his foley, then told him he could take a shower. Their was a big miscommunication whether to do it on a shower cart or a shower chair. They tried to take him from laying flat for the last 2 months to straight up and down, to put him in a shower chair. He got really nauseated and his b/p dropped tons, and then he tried to pass out on us several times. They were still insisting on getting him into the shower and I demanded they get him back into his bed. Once he was back into his bed he slept for most of the rest of the day. He was totally exhausted.
After this they came to tell me they were still going to come and try and get him in his chair later in the day. I told them that as long as I was there they would not be getting him into his chair today. They thought I was off my rocker. I am so glad I am here to be Nicks advocate.
Hoping today will be better with the sitting protocol.
